Paint & ghost flames are beautiful. Head work is awesome (GT 40?). What's the dyno say?

Nice truck! Welcome to TRS
Thank you
I have not put it on Dyno.....but by build sheet should be in the 450 range. Heads are from a company called Speed Works.

I'm seeing a TTB front axle assy, surely not a D28.

Looks good!
That said, I'm with the others, if that's still the Dana 28 front axle it isn't going to be happy, I would look into swapping to a Dana 35 with the mods that should be in the tech library...
I would also highly recommend a traction bar with near 6" of blocks in the back with stock leaf springs, my turbo 2.3 doesn't make near the torque of a 347 and I've bent leaf springs and twisted an axle housing... much nicer with a traction bar
