This is my truck. yes it dosen't look like much...but its getting there. More money has gone into fixing it (over $2000) than customizing it ($600). I am not certain on performance, but on good days i can stay even with a ws6 firebird 6speed up to 85 mph....not too bad for 15 yrs and 165,000 miles
new pics soon

*update*

*update april 15, 2005*
tranny decided to die on me, so i had it fully rebuilt with a lot of extra goodies and a transmission cooler. rock hard shifts (to the point of discomfort almost) and tires barking badly into 2nd....i love it
*update may 18*
installed 2 inch drop spindles and 2 inch hangers. hopefully soon i can afford new shocks and get the back lower with the hangers i have. final plan will hopefully be a 3-4 drop.
*HUGE update*
engine started burning oil (21 quarts in 3000 miles to be exact). new motor consists of:
vortec long block
bored TBI to 2"
GMPP vortec/TBI manifold also bored to 2"
Custom chip from Brian @ tbichips.com
Hooker long tube headers
true duals (with magnaflow cats, x-pipe, and bullet mufflers)
i'm hoping to break into the 14's in the 1/4 mile.
