Just have to love those tubbed rear ends! What are the rest of the details on your truck?

I am just finishing up the new engine. It's a 355 with a B&M 144 supercharger. It currently has a tired 283 with the supercharger on it.
Transmission is a th350.
Exhaust is full 3" from the header out, with 40 series Deltaflow Flowmasters. I would probably go with 50 series next time. These get irritating on the highway after awhile with the pipes exiting in front of the back tires anyway.
Rear is a 9" with 4:11 for normal driving and I have a second third member with 3.00 gears in it that I just change out for long out of state trips. It's actually comfortable to cruise in.
Tires are Sportsman 31x18.5 on 15x15 Centerline Autodrag wheels. I did the whole back half and narrowing of the 9" myself. It was pretty interesting to do. Thanks for some advise from this site.
I also painted and did the ton of bodywork myself, too. The yellow is Viper Yellow. From last years Doge Viper.
I also converted the front brakes over to disks with a kit, too.
These are just cool trucks to work on. They're fairly easy to modify, too.
