This thing looks good!! nice work!

Thanks man. I think come spring I'll be installing the supercharger ?

 

[veefer800canuck]

Well, I waited until the very last minute, and now it's off with the cool wheel and tires, and on with the studded winter grips. (Sigh)

Tomorrow, I have to wash the 33's to get all the salt off them so the rims don't corrode over the winter, sitting in the garage.

Some of those icy patches were downright treacherous with those big A/T meats on there earlier today.

Watching your work is making my truck; same year, color and model, want some too. Presently stuffing in a supercharger. I installed a Magnum ARE full rear door shell and a bed slide when I bought it. Those two things are the greatest thing a fat old man could do for truck. I'll be watching your progress for ideas, good job with it. Very nice looking truck.

Dusty thread alert! Need to blow it off!

What better to use than a blower???

Silver is boring, black is beautiful!

First up, must install the Walbro 255L fuel pump, so I raised the bed.

Would have removed it entirely if I had some help, but I was by myself, so....

Next step was to install the new colder spark plugs.

Easier to do if the front end is lower.

Hmmm, now how to quickly lower the front end for free?????

And the OEM plugs after 72,000km

Waiting for my boost gauge to arrive in the mail

Going to mount it in the centre left HVAC vent like this

And waiting on my (cooler) Stant 49379 180'F thermostat to arrive as well

Ordered some camber bolts tonight.

Truck needs an alignment after cranking the T-bars

 

[veefer800canuck]

Oh, and I picked up one of these awhile ago. Love it!

So this arrived today:
