Thumbs up

I am digging this truck. Awesome build. I like how the engine bay is still clean looking after all the mods.
Some builds have so much clutter and just don't look right when you pop the hood. That looks good!

It'd be cool to see more, but again, this is the first in the world. The 3.6 was never ever intended to go on a pickup.

That's why every accessory excluding the water pump was changed to the layout of a 2010 Camaro.

The alternator is now up against the power steering input shaft, and the universal boot needs to be trimmed for clearance.

The power steering high pressure line was re bent to fit the Camaro pump, and every wire concerning the MAF and everything else was lengthened. The windshield washer reservoir unit was removed and replaced with a compact unit, a custom inner fender well shield was made, and the ECM/TCM was relocated to the top of the radiator support to make way for the air cleaner. It has a slight wire tuck.

Etc. Crazy huh?

Wow, i didnt see this comin from looking at the exterior of your truck. Im thinking a 66 year old retired guy is rolling this. Then you talk about the build and the power it has im guessing your a hard working 23 year old who knows how to build some ****!
I actually like the combo.

Actually I built this for my dad, thanks to my father for his support, and all the perks given from Kenne Bell, Injector Dynamics, Comp Cams, Atlantic Speed, Dallas Performance, Squash Performance, etc.

I'm actually only 19.

I'm happy that everyone approves of it so far!

Dude, what a piece of ****. The belt is squeaking, you've got a vaccuum leak/trans. slippage from the sound of those pipes, and it's a lowered truck so you obviously just stuck the 4X4 sticker on there because you wish you had a truck that would mud bawg.
