Just caught up with this post... Mike, your truck is sweeeet. I'm not a big fan of the later style beds on our trucks, but you might have changed my mind. The truck is so clean, the stance is just right and the color is awesome. Great job.

What muffs are you running and do you have any sound clips?....seems to me I saw you do a little burn out awhile back.

jim, the mufflers are magnaflows , i hope to get Bill (bcubed) to do another vidio something like the first vidio of the finished truck . the burnout vidio was quite weak, runnung much better now . the exhaust sounds great . thanks for the comments. hows your truck coming, last i saw was looking great ,love the blown 383, had the same set up in an '80 elcamino.

In the picture I didn't notice a combination valve. Did you relocate? If you deleted, how did you accommodate for the disk/drum setup? I really like how clean and simple your firewall looks.
