Since the last time i photographed my truck, i have made a few small changes, that made the overall look of the truck a little "meaner"

Nice comparision pics! 100% improvement! Looking good, keep the upgrades coming. You just rattle can the fire wall, and such?? How do you like the new carb?? 600 or 750??

Thanks! I simply washed out the engine compartment really good, masked off the engine, and put some cheap gloss black paint on it

. The carb is a 1406 model, 600 cfm electric choke. I like it alot so far, it gave me some more power, and i dont have to mess with the choke in the morning. I did drop 1 mpg, but i need to play with the jetting/metering a little bit more.

Nice improvements. Someday I will get to that point. For now, boy does the two barrel carb suck on my 307. Do gotta like my oil bath air filter - looks so odd to most people.
