That has a sweet car look to it I think it will look awesome can't wait to see it!!!

Reference the long throw even with the 5.0 shifter // I have seen the same set up in an extended blown truck her in oklahoma he also has a 5.0 in his aswell // My machanic an i are talking about leaving the middle seat in and trying to fab a stick that will work with it when we install my six speed to cut down on having to lengthen the shifter when you install the center console causing the longer throw // I am hoping for the shortest throw I can get with my set up // TURBO8 HAS SOME PICS SIMILAR TO WHAT I AM GOING TO ATTEMPT WITH MY SET UP // I ALSO WANT TO TRY AND USE THE JOE GIBBS BOOT AND PART OF THE CHROME SHIFTER THAT CAME WITH MY SHORT THROW 5 SPEED I THINK IT WILL GIVE ME A UNIQUE CLEAN LOOK!!!

Looks good Mark, and the truck sounds killer on shifts. As for the welds....who cares, if the truck goes fast, then you have suceeded.

Thanks guys. I have 2 hrs reserved at the dyno in b'ham this coming saturday. Provided I get the the new fuel rails and return system on it and my low boost issues worked out I should have some #'s by then.

I agree, GM never built the truck I wanted so I said F-it, i'll just have to build it myself.

Your truck is absolutly gorgeous man, and perfect wiith the mods, I would love to custom fab a turbo kit for my truck! How hard was it for yours? And about what price range was it if you don't mind me asking? Just for the turbo kit not the 6.0 and all.
