I also replaced my oil pan with a new one and got a one-piece FelPro gasket. The old hauler doesn't leak a drop now. Such a good feeling.

Looks pretty sweet John.....but will your truck go 160?

greasemonkey · 04-17-2004, 10:47 PM

OH yeah...

I might add that the pic turned out strange, the paint looks a lot better than that in person, and I have a couple of LEDs in where the turn signal indicators are, they just didn't show up for some reason. The other LEDs are for high beam indicator and brake warning light.

Looks real sweet. You trying to turn that ole farm truck into a hot rod or somethin?
