GD.... your truck is coming out amazing! however, i slightly hate you currently, due to the fact that my to-do list is getting longer everytime you post!

i had already planned a complete top end rebuild this winter(odessa heads, airgap, and hs rr's, and 50, or 52mm tb) now because of you, im going to be ripping out my carpet, for either vinyl, or a complete sand down, prime, and bedline the floor. so much for doing gears ha! im also going to be having ALL the rust on my doors fixed, and im going to prime, and bedline the silver on my truck.

See, assuming stock motor is not valid. By the time I actually crack her open to put the rockers on, who know what else I may decide to do.....

Ha! This is not on ME! When I got this truck, my plan was to repair the tranny. That's it. Repair the tranny. Then I found DF. Then it turned into rebuilding the tranny, kegger mod, fixing the dash, Glow Shift gauges on A Pillar, full paint and body repair, interior rennovation, trailer hitch install, bed liner........and IF I can find another engine cheap to toss on my engine stand - who knows waht I would end up doing to it? Do you know how dangerous it is for me to read the threads about turbos?

well, i already did the kegger mod, and the hughes plenum repair. my dash is mint*knock on wood* and i have a factory tow package. i was tempted to do an auto-manual swap, because i can get everything i need to do it for 500ish, plus the cost of gas to go and get it(300ish miles away from me).

its all good though. its gonna wake my truck up, and i may even get an sct finally, instead of the superchips i have currently.
