Got my truck in July. Since that time a lot has happened with it. Found out the old v6 was shot, so it got pulled out along with the 4 speed manual and it was replaced with a small block and 700r4 tranny. Put in a Lokar shifter. Also, new exhaust conisting of true duals with flowmaster 40s behind patriot clipster headers. Added a 68 gm master cyl (dual) and split the front and back. Done some wiring and cleaned the gas tank. More recently I replaced the driver side front fender bottom and rocker panel. Looks like that's about it for this year, but I'm already looking forward to next year to take it to the next level. It currently runs great, stops fairly well and is streetable. It's come a long way in a few short months. Here are a few pics.

Sadly we leave michigan in the winter and head for Naples Florida until May. I hate to leave my truck, but warm weather and great fishing are calling. Hopefully, someday, I'll have this truck to the point i can drive it down.

Tough duty yes, but somebody has to do it. I don't mind the sacrifice.
