Thanks for updating the thread, I've been wondering how this truck has been holding up for you. Did you work the dent out of the left front fender a little also? I like the blacked out grille look too. Did the previous owner provide you with a list of upgrades to make that engine reliable? Didn't you have engine pics posted someplace, seems I recall an old Frantz TP filter in the engine compartment. We have a generator at work that has a 4.3 V6 diesel in it that looks like a baby Olds V8. Come to find out that GM made a 4.3 V6 diesel and used it in FWD cars. Looks just like a V6 version of your engine.
