Default Props to Slowhawk

Thanks for the great build!
When he pulled timing out of my truck for the spray I was so bummed out about it but, as usual, he was right. No, my truck isn't gonna run 10's like the rest of you guys do in your Fbods and Vettes but my 4-door DD 4x4 fullsize truck is on the way to 12's.
It's a bitch launching a 5400lb truck with a stock converter and tranny with all 4 tires spinning but last night it ran 13.2 @ 105mph. Now, the damn 60's gotta come down. 2.18 60's are just gross and they ain't his fault!
Best part is this morning I jumped in, fired it right up and drove the kids to karate... no problems and avg 16mpg!

Don's the man.

That's a quick truck you got there , I'm starting to think this " Slowhawk " is paying people to say nice things.

Just kidding , he does seem to be the man . Good luck with your truck .

Nice, sounds like you got a sweet pickup.
