Ive had this truck for about 5 months and have been working on it as time permits. I got the engine for free so i decided to freshen it up. I did the suspension and all the small details before i but the 5.3 in. Right now im still rolling with the strait 6 and 3 on tree for a few more weeks. Paint buffed out nicely with little effort.

roughneck - I don't know if you'll ever read this post since you haven't been back to it in over a year BUT...

That's a very nice truck. I like what you've done with it so far (as of a year ago!) and since you're in Calfornia like I am I totally get that it is emissions exempt so why not hot rod it. Personally I'd leave the straight six and dress it up. I'd do that just to save money and to be different because EVERYBODY has a 350 or an LS these days (me too, lol)

Anyway, just FYI here's a pic of a very nicely dressed 250 six I have saved because it looks so good.
