Nice. Looks very clean (besides the rust in the bed, but mine is worse.)
I'm liking the paint on the sides too.

 

thanks man, i only have a couple of small pinhole spots in the bed where the rust has eaten through but it's overall in good shape. the stripe is actually vinyl. i believe it gives me about a 100hp gain.

 

im hoping my next mod is the vinyl viper race stripes down the middle, think its like 103 HP, but yours is still pretty dope man!

 

i honestly have mixed feelings about the race stripes on the truck but i've gotten a lot of strange compliments on them. thanks dawg!

 

just for the sake of updating, i've changed my clutch fluid and brake fluid. i've replaced my clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder and the truck finally shifts super buttery. i got my belltech mighty max springs in the mail the other day, and am waiting until the funds come to order my new shocks and drop blocks.

only real issues i'm having with it at the moment is my charge light is flickering. i'm pretty positive my alternator is taking a deuce. and the motor misses aka makes popping sounds. my carb is leaking constantly into the intake. anyone know if this can cause a motor skip?
