Damn that is a sweet truck. I was thinking of those rims for my truck today. What size are those rims and tires? Is that stock height.

Thanks....those are the Centerline Tel-Stars and the suspension has been dropped via springs in the front and rear. Drives straight as an arrow. It also has shocks to accomodate the springs. I believe it is 3" front 4" in the rear.

The rear rims are 15X10 and the fronts are 15X7. The rear tire is a 345/55/15

Thanks....I plan to leave it that color and keep the trim. I will post some more pics this evening.....It has been turned into a "street" machine.

I added more photos......the engine is out right now ready to drop another in. The engine in the pics is a 408 Lunati short block with sportsmanII heads. I sold that motor....

The new engine is a 440 SBC.....

Enjoy...

Thanks.....No, the new engine is not in it yet. All I lack is a stall and then I should be very close. The new engine came out of an outlaw 10.5 car that ran a best of 5.61 in the 1/8 on bottle. The best motor pass was a 6.28 and the truck has roughly 500 more pounds on it than the car but I do not know for sure exactly how much it weighs. As soon as the motor is in and a few things bolted up, I am going to tow it to a weigh station and get a figure.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments...

If you ever have your coil go out, you might mount it verticle instead of horizontal like you have it now. I had one mounted horizontal in my race car and the coil went bad. The instructions say not to mount the coil horizontal, unless it is the high vibration unit, and even then I'm sure its not that good for it. Just some friendly advice, I need to get my truck up on here.
