It's always nice to hear about someone driving theirs. Nice progress. I have probably already ask you some where (I think I PM'd you in the past, I can't remember), but are those shorty headers?

Congrats!!

Thanks for the replies guys! Sorry I haven't gotten back on here, but been a busy holiday weekend and yes, definately took it out and laid down some rubber. I've now made up to a 60mile journey, so I'm getting more faith to venture out further.

A couple quick followups, yes I'm going to keep the TT's. When I tear down the rear of the truck this winter, I'm looking to install an Eaton posi, disc brakes, 5 - lug axles, new stock car style panhard bar and TT's on the back.

The air cleaner is a circle track stock car type. As I've spent the better part of the last 20 years racing stock cars, that's what I know and you can see a lot of the influence in the truck: Air cleaner, power steering pump style, pulley types, water pump mods, tubular uppers and steering mods.

Alan, you did ask, those are long style headers. I've got a pic of how low they sit. At the height my truck is at, I don't have any issues, but I don't think I could lower it anymore without having problems.

Thanks again to all those who post on this board.

Congrats. That's SO cool - this morning I finally made it to the grass lot next door to my garage, drove back and forth for a about 5 minutes for the first time since stuffing the 454 in mine last year - I got the brakes adjusted well enough to stop without crunching something, even the wife was excited!
