Got the whole fuel system done, headers in, they are f-body pace setters, will get some custom 1 7/8 or 2in done later.(Dont know if Kooks 1 7/8s stepped to 2in will work) We just need some minor things to get it done!

Very cool truck. I gotta get me a square body one of these days. I just love the look. Give us some more pics and details on the rear suspension.

Here's another small clip from today, truck already has exhaust. Still untuned, just some small adjustments to the idle, and raised to 1,000 other than that nothing else. OS still isn't converted to speed density and it need an air intake temp sensor.

Great looking truck man. Are you doing the tune yourself or getting a dyno tune done?
