G force trans crossmember with new trans mount installed to tuck new exhaust coming soon above the frame rails.

chevellelover · 10-29-2019, 11:11 AM

New Grant steering wheel. (stock is worn and sticky) $160
New 33 inch tilt column 2 inches shorter then stock i believe so gear shifts are tight and precise and more room inside the cabin. $280

Big Block Chevelle Longtubes are next (do not hang below the frame rails) new 3 inch exhaust with x pipe and Magnaflows. Have 3 inch Flowmaster 50's on the truck now but need more clearance and the Flowmasters are robbing power.
