yeah it has two small pics in minitruckin show coverage. pretty cool.

have a few things to work out with the tune still.. idle is set to low or something cause sometimes itll idle stupid low and die.. and they need to bump the shift point down some cause it keeps hittin the 7k rev limiter from 1-2. wont shift till i let off and get back on it.. pretty annoying cause i havent gotten a good feel for the truck yet cause of that.. from about a 20 roll if you stomp it itll spin em, then hook up, shift, pull even more and chirp em..

no sir. i put one of the tanks and compressors on my daily for train horns.. i think the old man wants the other tank/comp. for the same thing on his truck.. all thats left is valves, switchbox and dakota digital readout.. eventually i will bag another truck. will have a little head start..

and yes, drag strip in future. need a trans first

bench seat FTW!

cut down my driveshaft tunnel as much as i could, and notched into the seat some. seat still needs a little bit of notching because the back is about an inch off the floor still.. but definattely workable. need to pull seat back out, rebuild driveshaft tunnel, then finish notching seat and beefing it up, remount ignition, line lock, headlight switch and shifter. then get seat redone..

oh and rebuild trans too.. woot.
