Nice trucks man! I have a 91' I'm driving daily and already have a fresh 355/th400 stage 2 running gear. What kit did you use for the 5/7 drop? I dig the stance and I'm new to this. Mostly a bike builder but getting out of that. I wanna push some boost through my sbc someday.

Im trying to decide on how the run the fuel system, I was originally going to mount it on the firewall because there is no such thing as tech around here in southern Tennessee and the northern Alabama tracks... but if I should ever want to run a lsfest I wouldn't be able to do that so I was thinking something like this.

I haven't posted in here in awhile, the wait for parts is killer, but worth it in the end. the hold up was waiting on the converter, so in the mean time I finished the wiring got everything loomed up. I went with a 4000 r&r racing converter and it finally came in Friday. I also ordered a new set of headers, I read somewhere before that the 99-07 headers will work but after buying some there is no way. so I had to get some swap headers. Also ordered a set of 17x7 15x10 race stars, kirkey seats, shock relocation kit, diff girdle and a few other odds and ends
