Thanks its the factory color. It's the door code eh medium Cabernet red. I recall it wasn't to bad, but time consuming on the tailgate.

You're welcome. Did you weld the holes? I welded close to 100 on my highboy with a lincoln wire feed welder. Zap, wait, zap, burn through, weld up the new bigger hole, grind, weld....

Yes I didn't do the tailgate because I didn't think I could but I payed attention as my dad welded the big holes on the tailgate. I'm a better wire welder know but my main thing used to be stick welding. Can't wait to try tig welding.

For now yes. But as I save money I'm want to do something like a Holley efi with a carbed 300 intake drilled for multiport injectors

I didn't run into any sensor issues on the k&n swap, know this won't work on a truck with a maf sensor because its in the intake. My truck has no sensors in the intake path. BTW went through you build thread nice truck

Lol, well I plan on keeping the stock computer for a while. I'm thinking about a isky or crower myself. I won't spend the money on a fancy computer until I need to.

Check out the inline six forum here. You'll find more like minded people.

And Clifford makes lots of performance stuff for various 6 cyls including the 300.
