Slowly but surely getting there... I took the fuel cell out to add some more capacity to it and sump it and baffle it etc.

should hold close to 34 gallons behind the tires

Also sadly to report my turbo manifolds wont fit the truck. unless i prefer to not steer it

Anyhow on to the pics. My new clutch should finally be here today more pics to follow..

I'm starting to wish I'd have went with an 8.1 in my suburban... These things just look so badass.

I could but right now I aint wasting the time or money I test fitted them on a stock 8.1 crew cab. The stock head bolts make them an issue as I well because of their height
