Also put in a 3200 stall and transgo hd shift kit.

Still have to finish some interior work and have the truck tuned and dynoed and have the exhaust finished up, plans are to at the first of the year do a front mount turbo on the truck.

Damn that is clean. Just goes to show it doesn't matter how bad it gets, it can always be brought back to life. I actually use that as an excuse, if it is all messed up then you can make it how YOU want it.

Anyways nice truck and don't crash it and make it look how it started again!!!!
