Man that is really nice. The only thing that would make it better is to change is the name on the title...

Very Nice!

The wheels make the stock trim pop. I like the clean simple look of it.

Ken, I watched it on Dallas CL for quite a few weeks. Sale or trade deal..... anythings possible. The stance is a little lower now vs. when it was for sale on CL.

Clean ride for sure.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: my 79 driver

to the board!!

That is one fine looking truck you have there. I was wondering what mine would look like with smoothies on it. My only suggestion is getting a set of taillight and turn signal lenses for it. They only cost me around $40 off of Ebay and looked so much better than my faded originals.
