thanks guys I really do like this truck alot.It has a few small issues but thats what its all about.Yeah it would make a great hot rod hauler but I have 2- 47 chev pickups that are hotrods(i will post these soon it just takes me a while to figure it all out)and I thought that I would keep this as close to stock as possible.I have been reading the big bolt forum and it is hard to believe how much knowledge and info that everybody has and how incredibly helpful that everybody is.This web site is the best thing for us chevy truck owners.
