Yeah, my only regret is that the tires are not quite as tall as I'd like them to be. I really wanted that 295 in the back though. I also wanted it in a BFG T/A Radial but they won't put that size back into production until October of this year.

I'm gonna have to apologize to my uncle Marty for this but I had to pull his system out!!!!! It had lost it's "bump"

How much throw do you think this sub had anyway?

OMG that truck is a beast!!! I have a sub on my computer and the sound of the exhaust was rattling the license plates on my walls! I'm jealous. My little 6 banger will never sound like that.

I can try though.

If you're not ahead of me now then you probably will be in the near future!

I'm not doing a full restore. I just want to play with the truck and have fun. Not everything will be factory like the stereo, seat, wheels, etc. But it will be fun to drive. The paint/body work will probably be the last thing I worry about unless some overzealous, hyperactive, truck enthusiast forces me to let him do it for free!!
