Love the stance that truck is gonna be one sweet ride. I feel the sickness coming back. My wife is gonna die when I drag home a new project. Thanks for inspiring me to get into more trouble.

Just for the fun of it, you should get that truck a 4 barrel intake, and a set of split exhaust manifolds to run duals

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
N2billet, keep us posted. Also I wanted to know how much of a drop did the air ride give you over all. Do you know. I have purchased all of the parts for my 2wd Blazer 3" spindle and 2" coil for the front. In the rear I have CPP's rear coil over kit. I hope it is low enough. I want to slightly tuck rim but I am not interested in laying frame. I am wondering if I should just start over and air bag but I had airbags on my 96 chevy extd. cab almost 10 yrs ago and did not like it. Of course I know it has come a long way now.

Raining Parts
Jumped out of work a little early today so I could blast and paint some of the loose parts under the hood. This is just a start, I had to get the motor mounts shot so I could at least make an effort to get the motor back in. With any luck I will make some progress this weekend.

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style
Man you have a GREAT place to work on your stuff! I hope to see it someday when you sell me your truck. Ha! Seriously,... I want your truck when you are tired of it. Let me know. I can't wait to see the final results of all your hard work.
