Not sure what this really gets me, if anyone can produce me a list of std. equipment that came with the trailer package I would appreciate it. My guess is 1.25 rotors, heavy gimungoid springs, badges, maybe rear end gears, power brakes?

Wish List:
4/6 drop - spindles, coils, flip, c-notch, blah..
New intake manifold
Secondary hangers,metering rods for my QJET
Stage 1 shift kit for truck TH400
Headers, full 2.25 dual exhaust, 50 series muffs, below tailight exits through rear quarters (bit of a challenge I figure)

Magic bodywork fairy, will settle for magic wand.
As it is turning out, I am the fairy.
PAINT - Midnight Blue fade to Black - Top to Bottom (anyone know how to do this?)
DETAIL - Mad lightning strikes all over (time to buy an airbrush)

Not gonna lie to ya, currently the best thing about the truck are the near-new Arctic Alpin winter tires on the rear only. But I'm getting a 455/TH400 setup from a '72 Olds 98 LS

The 455 is another story all together, >:o) Can't wait to take 400+ ft/lbs and blow the 12-bolt rear out and down the street behind me. It will be a longer timeframe and bigger $$, but when it's done it will be EPIC and this GMC will lay it down for any and all comers. Especially you twats in rice burners with droning bloody exhaust, but I digress.
