My dad bought this truck brand new and he finally gave it to me in 2010 when i got my drivers license. This is how i got it...

Since it had a 350 i started to mod it a little bit, cold air intake,headers,xpipe,4.10s,msd coil pack,chip,tbi spacer.

Then in 2012 i decided to throw some meaty drag radials on it and repaint the truck with a roll pan...

And last year during May, my 350 started to make loud ticking noise...my friend called me if i wanted to buy his engine(98 Ls1)... And the week after the call it was sitting in the back of my truck
