Hello, I've looked at this site for a while and decided to join in the fun. Since what people on here are interested in is the truck info, let's get to it.
I have a 1980 stepside LUV. It has all the street stuff such as factory glass and lights, wiper, etc. but it is currently set up for the strip. It has an 010 block, which is a chevy 350, brodix track 1 aluminum heads, a roller cam set up, a ported super victor intake, a NOS single stage fogger nitrous kit and a NOS bigshot plate kit just for laughs. I just installed this engine and haven't sprayed it yet but this engine is 6 tenths faster in the 1/8 mile on motor than my old one. The old engine would run in the eights in the quarter mile on just the plate. The fogger is a new addition to the combo. I run a powerglide transmission and a narrowed nine inch ford rear with 29.5x10.5w slicks. The best 60 ft time so far was a 1.12 on the wheelie bars. I've owned the truck for 4 years and have enjoyed it a lot. Thanks for the space.

I don't know much about the workings of a computer. Maybe I can con one of my teenagers into doing this for me in exchange for their allowance, lol. That will probably be my best shot at getting them posted as i usually have problems just sending e-mails.

When I swapped over to a 950 cfm Holley HP from a 1050 Dominator I did Double the number of runs per tank of fuel without any ET drop. I wonder if a two barrel will do that also. lol

Tell your kids to go through http://www.photobucket.com to post pics on here. It's free and it works well.

Not only another MS person, but one in central MS to boot. Don't see too many LUVs around here. I'm in Meridian, my truck's in Decatur. Where you from?

Yea, luvnit, I saw that forum. Step 4 on the reply with the pictures is where I lose out.

And to 1FSTluv, My brother-in-law married a girl from Vicksburg and lives there now. Must be something in that river water.

So if you right click on the img, and copy than paste it in the section of your post, it should come up. When I am posting pics, I like to have 2 windows open. 1 Being where my pics are, and the other is luvtruck. So you can copy your img, than minimize that page and pull up luvtruck, and paste. I hope this helps.
