Re: The 2nd reincarnation
For a second I thought I found my 1st truck. good to see your rebuilding and not going ls. This is the first engine I built. You can see the resemblance.

Re: The 2nd reincarnation
After a lot of work I think it has paid off.

Re: The 2nd reincarnation
^^^ NICE ^^^
The 73-80 7" round headlamps and the late 80's quad side by side 4x6 lamps look great on these trucks. You have holes for protected mounting of some amber LED fog lamps now.

Re: The 2nd reincarnation
I was an Oldsmobile man before I was a Cadillac man and I LOVE a GOLD engine. Yours may be more orange but it still looks BADASS. Did you buy that nice shortblock somewhere or did that come from your local machine shop?
I didn't even know summit sold heads with their name on them and I look at heads all the time.
