I hear ya. I'm wondering how long it's going to look good. At least I have some pictures to remember how nice it was!

Someone needs to come up with a "trex deck" material for beds. hmmm, may be an opportunity here!

Your truck looks AMAZING! I love that wood and stainless combo! You may have already said, what tank did you use and where did you get it? thanks,
Mike

kyull67 · 10-02-2009, 08:12 PM

Very nice truck! When the bed looks that nice it's almost a shame to put on a tailgate.

I know. I am putting the tailgate on this weekend and was thinking the same thing.

Hey SCOTTMO, Your truck is beautiful! I have to show you this picture. This truck was on ebay about a year ago and has been part of my inspiration while building mine. Looks a lot like yours.

I can send you more pics of this truck if you are interested in seeing them.

russj67 · 10-04-2009, 12:01 AM

Drove my truck for the first time today. It was awesome! I got carried away with pictures. Here's a few

russj67 · 10-04-2009, 12:04 AM

I got one great week of driving the truck and my carrier bearing broke this morning! Dang it!

kyull67 · 10-10-2009, 09:48 PM

get it fixed! LOVE the truck!

chevyndn · 10-11-2009, 02:03 PM

what kind of mufflers are you running?

russj67 · 10-12-2009, 08:16 AM

I have Flowmaster Super 44's, Hedman headers, and 2-1/2" pipes.

mcbassin · 10-15-2009, 09:40 PM

I like those valve covers did you get those from summit?

russj67 · 10-15-2009, 11:09 PM

I got them from Jegs
http://www.jegs.com/i/GM+Performance...97978/10002/-1

When I bought my engine through Jegs, it showed up with dented valve covers. Ugly stock ones. I called Jegs and they weren't able to get just the valve covers to replace them so they gave me those. I would have bought them anyways, so it workd out well.

mas09ts · 10-15-2009, 11:46 PM

Super Sharp truck man!!!!

**LEEVON** · 10-16-2009, 12:10 AM

That's a beautiful truck! The bed is outstanding and the engine bay is very clean. You did ask about the height...I think a little less tire in the rear with another 2" of drop would look even better. Still WOW, good job!

russj67 · 10-16-2009, 09:17 AM

Thanks all! I agree with the rear. I'll have to work on wearing out the rear tires after I break in the engine

Next tires will probably be 40 series (in the back only) and drop it maybe an inch to set the fender over the tire more. I have to say with the height like it is, I don't have to worry about anything hitting the ground, which is nice.
