Got 200 miles on it before it was time to head to Cleveland for the start of the tour. Thank god she registered us or it may still be sitting waiting to be finished!
As for the specs, front has 3" spindles and 2" springs with a coil cut, rear is 3" de-arched leaf springs and a flip kit and custom C-notch (copied from a bell tech). The rear wheels are 20x10 with 295/40-ZR20 tires and the fronts are 20x8 with 255/35-ZR20. Paint is HOK Tangelo Pearl.

FLowmaster's head of marketing Dave Fetherston doing a photo shoot of it for a book he made. I won it as a prize from Flowmaster on the Power Tour.


Rolling into Memphis Motorsports Park. Spectre Performance hooked me up with one of their dual inlet air cleaner kits that are fed through the factory holes in the core support, hence the Spectre sticker on the windshield. They let me park in their booth for the rest of the tour as well.


Wiping her down after an overnight rain in Cleveland. Possibly my fave part of the truck...the tailgate.


The Spectre kit


I have some more pics in my hub-garage if anyone wants to check it out. If you'd like to see something specific, let me know, chances are I have a pic of it!

hey copo- what brand tires are you running? My tire guy is having trouble finding a matching set in your sizes.
Man.... I can't quit looking at your fine orange truck! I printed a picture of it in my cube at work and everyone keeps asking...hey is that the color you're gonna paint your truck?

Hey guys new to the board, man are there some purty trucks. Here's mine it still needs a lot of work but it's an 82 just hit a 100k on the body and chasis original paint and trim with a fresh 383 / th350 combo, 5/5 Belltech/DJM drop (flip, coils, spindles), Boss 304 20's 275/45/20 all around. I still wish it sat a little lower, I'll try to get to it this winter and add a sport non step bumper. This is the only photo I have on my camera sry.

Thanks for the info. Another member has sugested they were race line speedsters. I looked at them and liked them so much I ordered a set and will be here in 4 weeks. I orderd them with a black mat finish.http://racelinewheels.com/configurator_2pc/. I will post some pictures of the truck when they come in and get them mounted.

Quick questions do most of you guys run with your front air-dam I took mine off didn't like the look but it's kinda growing on me. Is there a big difference in aerodynamics?

Just got to imageshack, tinypic, photobucket, etc. and upload your pictures. Then click on the yellow icon with the gray mountains in it above the text box and post the url from the upload website you used.
