The shifter is just an old B&M Quick Silver one. Someday I will go with a Lokar I think. The glove box was pinstriped (along with the ash tray) by Nub at nubgrafix.com He did a great job. Just sent him my ideas with this old Chevrolet script

Re: Show your current set up and how you got there or where its goin.

I think this is the most original idea and twist I've seen so far. Is this going to have the forward flip front cap?

Sorry just saw this now, I'm running front & rear Porterbuilt Dropmembers. I have tons of pics in my build thread if you want to take a look.

Nice job on the LS install, an LS is in the future for my truck too but after I finish painting it and get it on the road.

No I had it done by a guy in Texas. Gerald @ whatadesigns. Funny thing was we actually went to the same small college in OK at the same time, but I didn't know him. I got his info from "N2Trux".

Re: Show your current set up and how you got there or where its goin.

The truck was last registered 1989 and sat in a Wyoming cattle pasture for all those years. It now is a driver with a 1970 Chevelle 396/402 with Corvette heads and plenty of power. Next to do is lower RPMs at highway speed. It runs about 3300 rpm's at 65 mph. I am going to try some 32" tires in the rear. That should bring me down to about 2500 rpm's I am thinking???
