Nice. You don't see many of those little trucks anymore. I like the purple paint. 11.5's though on a stock V6, that's nuts.

NICE truck!! Odd place to mount a MAP sensor though?? I'd be worried about it holding up to engine vibration.



I gotta ask though, where did you get your trailer? The reason I ask is that I traded one in that looked EXACTLY like yours when I was up in Ann Arbor MI several years ago.

Truck looks great! Bruce told me you got it, and he said it was cool ass hell.

I bought the trailer off a friend of mine.He bought it new here in Ohio.

Thanks.I'm going to drive it to the Beaver Falls cruise this year if it is nice out that day.I'm surprised Bruce didn't ride me about it being purple.I like to pick on him for useing orange on everything.It's all in good fun though.

Thanks man, I hope to make it out to your shop sometime. Maybe in June when they have the Super Nats at Quaker.

I'm looking forward to seeing that truck at the B.F cruise. Not sure which car i'll bring to the cruise, maybe both like i did last year. New 5.0 is great! Its going to the shop for some performance goodies sometime this wk.:biggrin:

I saw this truck in person a few weeks ago and it is one sweeeet ride. it was done right and it is spotless everywhere. Troy let me know when you take it to the strip I may follow you. Does that thing have a nickname yet ? I am thinking "BARNEY" fits it pretty good.

I didn't think it would take long before you did some mods to it.
