Looks like I jumped the gun on my post. That looks really good and I was impressed on the before pic since it lookes better than mine does that way. One of these days when I get the time mine will look sweet too.

Thank you for the compliments Chuck I'm far from finished .....well are we ever finished on theses trucks.

Blue Beard I used Simple Green with my pressure washer then wiped everything down with Eagle One tire wet. Colects dust and dirt like crazy but it looks good for awhile.


Gary They are Mr Gasket wire looms I got them from Pep Boys They are really nice in the fact that you can use them on anything since the mounting tabs are adjustable plus you can slide the whole loom back and forth for clarance problems. Here is a better pic

Thumbs up

Look's good! Nice job!

But you may want to rethink the header thermal tape iv'e heard alot of bad thing's about that stuff causing the headers to rust thru when it get's wet.

I never knew you were running a BBC what size is it? and what header's are you using?
