they are painted, it was done on computer than laid out on truck, then airbrushed with red, yellow, and white tips, came out pretty good i think, I wanted to go tribals, but like flames more, so I mixed the two.

not yet, I have a new exhaust system from flowmaster, 50 series duals and thats about it so far, It's got the 4.3, so maybe a set of underdrive pulleys? who knows at this point, I do however want to trade the soft tonneau in for a hard cover and then change the wheels for now.

You can do a hell of a lot more to a 4.3 than underdrive pulleys. I had a 4.3 in my 91(pre vortech) put bigger tb, port and polish and shaved the heads, bored over 30, reprogrammed comp, bigger cam, headers, true duals, underdrive pulleys, and electric fan. Thing ran great. The cyclones and typhoons had turbos and ran with the vettes. Great looking truck, the 4.3 is also a great motor in the little trucks.
