Here's a shot of the engine bay minus the a/c compressor and lines. I should have it back together and working next week.
This all started over a rusty battery tray believe it or not lol

Is that a real engine, looks like it came from a book. So clean. Plus i like the airdam on the truck, makes it look even lower.

I got it from Summit and it is made by Right Stuff Detailing. So far no leaks and it works well.

Thanks!
It is factory 25L Mariner Blue.
The tires are 275/60/15 all around.
I'll probably have to go to 255 on the front. I have to tip toe around too much with the 275's up there. The rear also has 1.25" spacers.

RSHook we need some interior pics!!!!
I like the way it sits, the ralleys, white lettered wheels, bed rails, hood emblem, mirrors, you really did a nice job!!!!

Poovey, we need to get our trucks together for some pics when we get a chance.

Here's a few of the interior Eyegore. Sorry for the bad quality.
It's like it came from the factory except for the steering wheel, tach, fan lights and radio.
The PO ordered it without a radio and put this one in. It's an am/fm 8 track player with a cb and it works lol
I unhooked the cb part though :chevy:

It's a low mileage truck that me and the wife enjoy on nice evenings.
I'm looking for one that's not quite as nice to make a daily driver out of.
