Very nice work! As mentioned, great to see a truck done ground up and treated like more than a $500.00 beater!

Looks like a custom centerlink in your suspension, where did that come from and why did you go that route?Any other front suspension upgrades or changes?

I take it when you put a carb on the motor there is no need for the ECU. Nice I have a 4.3 in my Astro van that I was going to take to the junk yard but I may keep the motor/trans for a future project.

I have worked in a hot rod shop for 3 years and this looks like hi caliber work nice job.
