Well finally got back to the track Friday to test the nitrous system out and on the first hit i wasn't happy... :evil: ... only mustard up a 6.81 easing out to about the 60' then decking it, it was on and off the gas due to a carpet bunching issue under the gas pedal....second pass hit it out of the hole went 1.43 60 ft with a 6.40 at 107... :D ... had some tire spin out the gate so looking at either a tire change or gear change.Right now i'm running a 9" tire with a 5.00 gear.

LMAO... that insider just won't keep a secret will he!
I hope it's got some teen's in it..... just got to fine tune it and get the spining controlled but that should be fairly easy, mocking up a bigger tire right now for fitment if not an expert told me a few other things to try..... :twisted:

i have actually figured out exactly what will look slick on my luv. Some people may disagree but i would use and old 68-72 stepside box and tail gate. with 77 ford fenders they match the front end much better then i believe the factory steps do. tell me what you guys think!

Yeah his bed is in nice condition but the funds are not welcoming besides, he lives about 300 miles away. I can fab my own bed for a fraction of his price. Got a guy with an old stepside he would sell me for $50. Im not scared to get dirty and put some work in but I am scared to whip out my wallet and hand it over to someone. Thanks for all the help.
