Thanks man.

So when am I going to come down to Wacko and hang out with you and the lady and do some painting ?

Man, she has been up here only once since we talked. She got a job, so that's kept her busy. It'll happen though, her hours are about to get cut. Believe me, it'll happen. Did I show you my toolbox that she lettered?

[CRASH]

Hell. Yes.

Thanks man.

Looks awesome man, Nice meeting you guys the other day. Your dad is one cool ass guy. My little brother still talks about your shop.

Thanks man ! It was good meeting you too. I assume that Draglite wheel worked out ok for you ? What did you ever find out about those cop wheels ?

Thanks guys !

I ended up lowering it with 5" drop springs in the rear and used a shock relocation kit and put new Monroe Magnum gas shocks under it. Then I used 3" drop springs up front with CPP drop shocks. I wanted to do a set of 2 1/2" spindles and disc brakes, but it wasn't real high up on the list of things I needed.

I did, however, spend a little money on a new chrome front bumper, new chrome grille and head light rings, and new aluminum tail light bezels and park light bezels.

I had the aluminum radiator from a previous project that I never used it on and I'll be damned if that thing slid down in there like it was made for this truck. We just had to modify the upper radiator mount a bit, and decided to go ahead and make stainless upper and lower radiator tubes/hoses.

I have a new dual reservoir master cylinder that isn't pictured that I haven't put on yet.

We've done A LOT of re-wiring stuff to clean up and make work. Completely re-wired the park lights from firewall to hood park lights. Completely re-wired the tail lights.

There's a bunch of stuff that I've done to this damn truck that I'm not thinking of right now, but you guys probably don't give a shit anyways so I'll spare you the rest. LOL !

I've done quite a bit of work to this truck since May. Doing the 5 speed swap was fun. I bought the S-10 core and when we got it to the shop and I pulled it apart, apparently it had been sitting upside down full of sludge for who knows how freakin' long and the top plate was caked with sludge. I ended up using the tail shaft housing, and taking the top plate apart and swapping the shorter S-10 shift rail out with the longer Camaro rail.

After all that, we realized the speedo gear is in a different place on the output shaft, so my dad made a spacer and we had to drill a hole in the output shaft for the little clip that holds the gear in place. That was fun because the output shaft is harder than a preacher's dick in a mule's ass !!

I already had a new clutch and pressure plate to go with the Camaro trans, but the original pressure plate was 11", and the Camaro stuff was 10 1/2", so I just had the pressure plate resurfaced and used the Camaro clutch.
