What's in your truck?

Just wondering what everyone has. Pretty much what I'm for is like your engine (plus mods), suspension, 0-60, any mods, as well anything that is significant about your truck or stuff you have done, and if you have a picture of your dentsude put it in the post as well! Thank you so much!

On my truck it's right at 7.5 seconds, could be a little faster with some better tuning on engine and faster shifting on the 435.

Mine started as a 360 2bbl, now +.030 390 4bbl. Edelbrock intake, Holley 4bbl, 9.5:1 compression, mild Competition Cams hydraulic cam, backed by a Broader Performance wide ratio C6, stock 3.00 rear and 2¼" dual exhaust.
One of these days I may have it close enough to "done" to actually drive it.
Uhh, looks like it's going to be a while .
