Looks great!

Did you just pull the blocks out?

Those rims are very nice, and seem to be an easy find.

What do you plan to do to get correct backspacing?

No blocks on the 2wd trucks. I pulled out the thick-*** bottom leaf on each side (1 inch there) as well as out one of the main springs on each side. There are 4 mains stock...now there are 3. New U-bolts and new center bolts. $48 in parts and 1.5 hours worth of time are worth every penny. Rides a good bit better too.

I will get wheel spacers for the newer wheels. Even the stock ones are sucked in a bit more than I like, so 2" spacers with the 20x8 wheels will get me where I want to be.

Here is a recent picture.

Bill was generous enough to let me swap from my "Aero" front end which included the big headlights and chrome bumpers/grill to the "work truck" fascia. Chrome and white do not go together and I wanted to go for the all-white, monochromatic look anyway. His red truck now has some "bling". Thanks Bill!! Here's the beginning:




Bill also took his new 6.0L to the dragstrip on Friday night. I tagged along in mine and made 5 runs. That was my first experience EVER on a dragstrip (ignore the reaction time ) This was as fast as I think I'm going to get until I go with some aftermarket "oil". This run was at about 2.85 ms of injector PW ( ~2.0 ms actual) and my HPO was starting to suffer at 2700-2800 PSI. If I could get an additional millisecond out of it without tanking on pressure, it would be a fun (and faster) ride! My run is the LEFT LANE. The right lane was a newer (06 or so) Mustang that ran pretty strong. Also keep in mind that Bill and I both had MAJOR traction problems off the line. Wheel spin kept us from doing any kind of "boosted" launches so the 60' and E.T. really suffered.

Click on the picture for a video of my last (and fastest run). Notice the lack of black smoke. Smokeless 360-370 HP.

Thanks, CJ. I think it looks "tougher" with the work truck front end.

As for the looks, it's a good "20-footer"; it looks good from 20 feet away.
