Hey Larry.  I will do that as soon as I can.  I'm sure you would like to see
your old truck again.  Right now the truck is in many pieces on my friend's
shop floor.

We are concentrating on the suspension/drivetrain at the moment.  We have
already installed the Heidts SuperRide IFS on the front, plus I have my
tires and rims ready to go.  I have 245/45/17 front tires with 17x8 wheels,
and 295/45/18 rear tires with 18x10 wheels.  I also have an AirRide system
waiting to be installed, which includes Shockwaves for the Heidts IFS and a
triangulated 4 bar with Shockwaves for the rear.  I am just about to order
brakes which will be from Baer, as well as a F**d 9" rear end, probably in
the 3:70 range.  A 700r4 transmission is already installed, plus a new
Griffin radiator as well.  Lastly, as soon as all of this is finished, I am
ordering a Chevy Fast Burn 385 crate engine.  Plus I am going to use either
a supercharger or possibly a ram induction kit from Street & Performance.
Not totally decided on that.  My goal is too have my entire
suspension/drivetrain complete within 3 months.

We are not finished with the body planning but as soon as that part is far
enough along I will let you know.  And send you some pictures.  All I can
say is I am a hot rodder so it will be custom to some extent.

Take care.
