Cleaned up the dash with new trim and some LSX flare. Dakota digital gauges w/ A/F ratio and boost digital readout. Also installed new door panels. Soft top finally installed.

Top rolled up. It was perfect for Crusin' the Coast. Plenty of breeze, but still open to hear all of the cars. For some reason I don't have a pic of the truck tailgate on it. We put a truck tailgate, and installed the blazer trim so it looks like we shaved the grab handle. I'll have to get a pic of it later.

Pop's 53 and my K5 at Crusin' the Coast. Dakota gauges all lit up, the check engine goes away after it starts. Helicopter seat belts. Truck tailgate with blazer trim. Rear seat cover.

After Crusin' I decided to install the 14 bolt I had laying around. It's a 1996 14 bolt semi-floating. It has 3.73 gears with gov-lock. Lugnut 4x4 supplied the brake conversion. Dutchman custom 6 lug axles. That is a Blue Torch Fabrication diff cover also.

Converted the truck to speed density tune, so we had to modify the intake pipe to do away with the MAF. It cleans up the engine bay a bit. Also scored a carbon fiber engine cover. Cleaned up the under carriage a bit.

Gotta represent the Tigers. Took it to work early a few times. Installed N-Fab steps for the wife. (Also helps hide the downpipe) If you have any questions about anything, just PM me. I don't get on here daily, so please be patient. Thanks for checking out my ride!

Underneath the manifolds. Welded two blocks to each side of the factory bracket. Drilled and tapped to stubs on the engine block. Bolted on. They are upside down, so don't forget to swap the wiring around.

Added some s/s jewelry so the front diff matches the back.
