Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Thanks man. I did it to the air cleaner first and like it. I'll get a pic of them together but here is the cleaner I did two weeks ago. Gonna continue the theme on the rod covers and other parts of the engine when I can

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Forgot to add bonus picture of my dog coming along for an early test cruise, looking a little apprehensive about the whole thing.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Got all the kinks worked out with the headlights. I had to remove the fancy halogen upgrade wire kit as the highbeams would not function correctly no matter what we did. Went back to the standard wire harness.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
More done over the past couple days.
Started out by tearing down my 800 mile L99 to delete the DOD/AFM and VVT, basically making it an LS3. ![]() All but the valve covers and coil packs was not reused, part of the deletion of the AFM and VVT stuff. ![]() After getting most of back together, I decided on some PRC springs, TSP cam, some Yella Terra Ultralite roller rockers. ![]() Got the new 4L70E buttoned up with the Circle D converter. ![]() And if you don't have one of these, money well spent IMO.. ![]() All sitting in the truck now on the PB stage 1 cross member. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

One thing, I wish you guys lived down the street from me, you guys seem like a lot of fun and really enjoy these old trucks and I like the way you guys help each other out. If I had the time, space and money, I would own at least 10 more trucks from different years. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I watched my roof grow more patina. It's been raining here all weekend. Time for a coat of clear, I guess...
