Going to try to get the body off the other truck today, hopefully start sanding down the paint.
Getting a M90 supercharger from a guy at work and possible a port injection system if he has one. thinking 8-9 psi will wake it up a lil bit ;)

Nothing lately A frame isn't tall enough to pick the cab up to the frame. Dunno what to do about that
Quote from: lilred on November 14, 2012, 12:06:22 AM
If everyone who told me to just pick it up came over and helped it might work lmao...
