Scoti...the trucks been sitting for 2 years in storage so for now Ill just be doing the usual maintenance and repairs to get it up and running once I have the new transmission in it and just do body work and stuff until I am sitting better financially. I think the 454's that come in these run about 330hp stock but once I can afford to drop a good 3-5 k in the motor and the tranny Id like to get it up to the 700hp mark or at least a good 600 at the wheels. Do any of you guys know where I can get shaved tailgate kits for a 79 chevy? Ive been looking and just find spam....
