Again, thanks for the props. Its taken a lot of work and a few dollars to get here. Would also like to add that I have done every bit of the wrenching myself. Didn&#39;t build the tranny but put it in by myself. Along with the 6.0, blower, cams etc... Most mods done over a weekend because I had to have the truck to get to work on Monday. I do now have a beater which helps.

I would not hesitate to drive it accross country. Full A/C, Cruise on. Rides and drives pretty much like it did stock other than the very firm shifting and the TCC lock up. Pull down 17 mpg on the highway.

Don&#39;t get many street races cause it doesn&#39;t look or sound like anything I guess. Idles like stock, factory wheels. Nobody gives it a second thought. I just put a cowl hood on it to sport it up. Thinking about a personnel tag like BLWN 6L to entice a few. Did get a few races with some in town. Now that they know its fast nobody messes with me there.

Would you feel the urge to race a 40 year old guy in this?

Yes a Goodmark. I have always loved cowl hoods. Defiantely a classic. I remember tooling around in the day in a buddies 71 Chevelle. It had functional cowl induction, the little flapper that opened up to scoop up the air and put it into the intake. Cool then cool now&#33;

[Tim Z]

most definitley the cowl hood has made chevy&#39;s everywhere look awesome, nothing better than a 69 Z with a cowl hood. I was very impressed with the fit and finish of my goodmark hood. Also i beleive it helps let some hot air escape. dont stare at the little holes on the back side too long, youll get discombobulated&#33;&#33;

Can you say SLEEPER. Man that thing doesn&#39;t look like it&#39;s sleeping it looks like it&#39;s in a coma. Nobody would ever expect it was fast as hell. That is so cool. I would love to go for a ride and see the look on peoples faces when you kick their ass.

Thanks man, I do have fun with it.

"Coma", thats funny. Have most of my fun at the track. Shooting the crap with a guy in the staging lanes Friday night. 98 Cobra, DR&#39;s and some engine mods according to him. Absolutley beautiful car. He was like good looking truck, how&#39;s it run? Okay I say. I&#39;m telling him to take it easy on me, short shift that thing, ease out of the hole, you know just kidding him a bit. He&#39;s a nice guy, laughing and saying sorry guy I have to go for it, I&#39;ve driven 3 hours to get here. Told him I understood, no mercy on the track and all.

He wound up running like a 13.5, I lead him the whole way. They were having having trouble printing out time slips so you had to go to the tower to get them. Of course we wind up there at the same time. He climbed out of the car with a big smile on his face... "You A---hole, what the hell is in that truck, I thought you were going to drag the hitch on the track the whole way down... " Wound up shooting the crap for a half hour. Good fun

"Sleeper" ====> You can&#39;t MAKE the cop give you a ticket cause he still thinks it was the car behind you...

"Sleeper" ====> The last guy you dusted at the track still follows you home trying to figure out how you CHEATED...

Nice truck Roger
