[FLYNAVY30]

These are the first modifications I made to the truck, as well as some local parts sourcing for what I had hoped would be a relatively vanilla 5.7L LS and 4L60E swap....

The tires that came on the truck were pretty dry rotted. I decided that while I was buying new tires, I'd go up two sizes in order to better fill out the wheel wells while not making it look like a jacked up monster. I got a set of the 8 inch wide Ford steal wheels that accepted the factory hub caps. I painted them black for a little more subdued look as I always thought the white wheels looked too much like and ice cream truck.
