Very cool!

I think your truck needs a V8 and not an inline (6?)! Maybe you can pick up a slightly used LS6 out of a low mile Z06 or something

The story is that its not my truck, its my buddies ( the one inn the middle at the end). But since I am the Master Gearhead and he is just a padawan learner, I went down there to help him with the refit. We bought it off ebay for 800 bucks in the before condition. and spent around $1500 on new steel and misc parts from LMC trucks. We are starting up a BBQ sauce business and needed a truck to pull a smoker around so we picked it up. after he dragged it home, i took a long weekend and we did the work in the video so he could get it registered and through inspection. You dont see it here but the following weekend did a full brake job from the MC all the way to the wheels. Much as id like to through a v8 in there, the six will be good for now, though it does have a 4 speed, and whats more those old GM stovetops are indestructable!!!! The next upgrade includes swapping out the dual 1 bbl's for a pair of 2 bbls to get a littel more air flow. But thatnks for the input, ive already made the suggestion.
