I must either be brave or dumb, cause (almost) stock just adjusted up right (little extra toe) I feel ok in mine up to 75. Nine inch and T5 trans, front is all original.

Talk about rubbing it in. I can't get mine faster than what I can push it yet.

Shoot, I have to put the front tires on before I can even push it. Also with no tie rod or steering, it might get a little squirrelly once I started pushing.

Hey Dale, I have been thinking about you. I was in Pensacola Beach last week and the spring breakers were starting to show up. I got to thinking of your beautiful truck and the scenery you put in front of it.

It was a little chilly and the wind was a bit strong for too much fun beach time. Although my 14 year old got me out swimming in it.
