yeah, I guess.... for the most part all the hard stuff is done.... the truck sounds so much better after giving it a tune up... I can't wait to take it for a test drive to see how much better it drives with the new gears...

it's getting there man....it would have been done a couple weeks ago.... but it's always one thing or another with these trucks..... but it's all good. if I had a dd I would have started this months ago instead of the last minute.....

I just pick up an 88 burbn 2500 with a 454/400 but its a 2wd and I thought it was an alignment issue but there is some thing wrong with the front end. I dont know if its worth fixing the 2wd or rip it all out and make a 4x4, I only paid 700 bucks for it but my brother smashed the front end so I dont know what to do and seeing your burbn gets me thinkin

it's looking good. I'm tired just looking at the pictures
But tell me about it---it's always one little thing that gets you. I've fought those all day today and yesterday.

convert it to 4x4
..... it shouldn't be to hard....If I could do it over again I'd probably go that route.... so I can get a smog legal 454...
