mrbigtanker Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Took it for a spin today not bad.The valve cover gasket was screwed up so pulled it off today sent a few things out to the polish shop.Want to do the bed skirts and move them low like that truck from New Zealand and try to get the coil overs done ASAP these trucks ride like crap lowered this low thats for sure.

skyblue Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 very nice. the low profile tires don't help the crap ride either i bet. but they look damn good. this is one case where form wins over function. 1 Quote Link to comment
an_orange_s2k Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 this is a great looking truck Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 So this is about the finished product,i would say pretty clean not car show but hopefully enough for the JCCS.The motor is a 2.3 liter lightened flywheel custom grind cam 45 webers and yada yada yada. 1 Quote Link to comment
