Been a while since I posted, life gets in the way.
Anyway, I met and became friends with a couple of former NASCAR mechanics (they have their own shops now) and they did some work on my truck,
Redid the engine and added fuel injection, new 5 speed (700R4 with overdrive), new 4 link rear suspension, new Wilwood disk brakes all around with a hydrabooster (stopping power is incredible), new Ford 9 inch rear end w/3.90 gears (smokes the tires easily). Repainted all fenders and running boards and redid all front end wiring.

To say it's better is the understatement of the year.

Handles like a Mustang. accelerates like a Vette and looks like a dream doing it.

Life is GOOD.
