i'm not sure.. the guy who body dropped my truck picked it up for me.. it was less than 100 bucks i know that.. it works perfectly.. mine hasnt actually been used but he has used them on other trucks that i've been in and they worked great.. they are actually gold when you get them but we sprayed black over it when we did the firewall

tell me about it.. i've been building the truck for almost 5 years.. i got it when i was 15 1/2.. if it wasnt for my dad this truck wouldnt be anywhere near where it is today.. he has paid for a few of the smaller things on the truck (optima battery, remote start, first system) but i could care less about that.. hes been there every step of the way helping me figure everything out and build it.. we've made many trips out of state picking up parts to get it built.. you can bet when i take it to car shows i will register it under mine and my dads name.. and if it ever gets featured, it will have me and my dad listed as the owners..

for reference.. this is what the truck looked like before i tore it back down.. took 3 and a half years to get it to this point.. built this through highschool

crappy pics.. my dad was down at the shop today and snapped these of my new ls1.. as you can tell he isnt the best photographer.. the built tranny is done, motor is in.. hopefully it will be firing up tomorrow and then we can get everything cleaned up under there and wires and hoses ran cleaner..
