Truck looks good, some simple chrome wheels would set it off nicely imo, but stockers look good as well..

Thanks.

So what is next, kinda funny you mention that because i am planning the next/last round of mods.

I wanna swap to the holley hi-rise and relocated my fpr after the rails. Then i want to redo my pcv stuff with some new valve cover and ls6 valley cover. Then I want to redo alot of the wiring and hoses under the hood to make it look nice and clean. Then i am done. That is about how far i want togo with the truck for awhile.

When i originally started down this path i wanted to build something that i could drive everyday and go anywhere with it. Also have plenty of power to pucker the butthole. I am almost done. The truck has a nice stereo, gets good mpg, is fast enough for me, rides good and it is extremely reliable and i can still haul a bed full of firewood. I dont have any fears on taking anywhere. So with that said i wanna start a new project, still keeping the truck exactly the way it is.

So since i need 4 doors due to my daughter being born. I want something nice. I pretty much decided i want a G8 GT and i want to put a procharger on it. After i build that then i will redo the truck with a 4-link and lots more boost,

Those covers will look good man. I plan to take all my wiring out sometime as well and go through it. So much stuff in there that I don't need. Should really clean up the engine bay. Can't wait to see how yours turns out.

Truck looks great man , very very clean !
Ditch the front plate though I hate them .

Your truck is one hell of a sleeper too , and I also like the chrome and black I'm not into completely murdered out stuff either most of the time .

Thanks. My truck will never be the fastest nor the best looking but it is exactly what i want.

Yeah the licsense plate is required in texas. Last thing i want is extra attention.
