Did you see the tires wrapped around those rts? I mean they weren't super knobby but they definitely weren't a street tire...

This is the truck ...
Yeah my new truck is a 2001 Silver Regular Cab R/T, so that photo gives me a good idea of what the SRT style will look like on mine.

You cant get them anymore, they were made by GiSM they closed down a long time ago. Those rails where actually a cause of a few truck fires due to a faulty design by GiSM which is why they went under to many lawsuites and the people were ****ing idiots, a lot of thing they sold caused problems or they ripped off there customers.

Although they did remake the rails and started to use Oring fittings instead of the other ****. So they sealed a lot better. These were the new ones.

.... and you want the same fuel system he has?!?!
My fuel system was stock, the only change was the fuel rails, and it was not the fuel rails that failed. It was the cyl 8 Injector O-ring. Im going to take them off and reuse them on my new R/T if i can get them cleaned up i will, those are rare fuel rails and not made anymore. I also used Peratex Blue Thread lock on all the fittings (fuel safe) so no way in hell did they leak, it was the ****ty *** Napa o-rings. Should sue them... but i dont have the receipt for them

I have those same O-rings!!! I put in new ones when I swapped my intake manifold. Oh well, if mine burns up I'll use the insurance check to buy an R/T.

Here is photos of the new truck, i already took out the fan shroud, deleted the clutch fan, put my clear tails on my new truck and put in the lower SS Grille to match the hood grille. I also washed out the engine bay a little to get all the dirt out and clean it up a bit, it started to rain so i put back up and will work on it more when i get paid and get all my tax **** in ect. I just made myself broke for my new girlfriend.

For valentines day i booked a suite in Downtown Fort Worth at the Marriot its a high rise Hotel, the room has a balcony over looking the city. Should be real nice but it cost 400 a night, also got her some Purple Tulips. So next month im going to really get started on the new R/T.

If I was the owner of this truck I would invest in a small fire suppression system, Just a c02 bottle hooked to a system of lines going everywhere, A fire starts, One button press later. Its out. A few things to replace later, And you got your life and your truck. Also if your going to run this on a inter-cooled car its also great for that. Just put a inter-cooler co2 kit on it and bam more hp. Just my 2 cents.

There is a "cry02" system, I would get that and 2 dual purge sets and run them under the hood and have a switch inside for the system. There you go home made fire suppression kit.
