'89 R3500 Crew Cab 2wd to 4wd conversion & beyond

Started out with 2wd TBI350 with SM465 to current 4wd with 454, 700r4, NP241
I'd want white also and not taller than 5 inches. I'm not a big sticker guy when it comes to my trucks but I'd rock that on the back glass if it wasn't huge.
 
I detect some prejudice towards little 2 doors. .. ..

:flipoff13:

Or is it just about the size of your bed????

I sense some sort it supremacy thing here...

Oh, wait.... on second thought, since you could ban me..

Never mind....

@bent72 told me to say that!!!

I did not. Keep your butt hurt to yourself
 
I decided the throttle was just too stiff for my taste. I made a little extension for the throttle cable connection. Here's what the throttle arm looks like on the Sniper.

I used the 2 holes marked. I drilled the larger hole to 3/8" so it would fit over the raised shoulder.

It's made with a piece of 1/8" thick aluminum. I moved the hole up about 5/8". It is almost too close to the original linkage to get the nut on but it just fits.

I was uncertain how much of a difference 5/8" change would make but it worked out perfectly. Kinda funny tho because I had gotten used to the feel of the pedal with the stiff spring so now I have to re-learn my foot pressure all over again.
