Wow Keith that's a nice little car. It's not what I thought it would be. It's really sharp looking. I like those headers!
Also you may have said already, but is your truck carb'd or fuel injected? From what I understand the old carb'd models get about 20 mph. Not bad for a 4000 lb truck. Let me know when you get some pictures of it!

I wouldn't say unfortunately. You should get better gas milage and less to go wrong with it. Also you can build a carb. Plus it sounds better. And I believe the carb has five lbs more torque. I could be wrong but either way the torque is about the same, give or take a few lbs. The only difference is the horsepower and gas mileage.
I use Jegs when I have to, but other men on here would know of better places to order parts. Just make sure to always do research!

Summit carries quite a bit of stuff for trucks, I got several things from them for my Ranger.
And if we're talking racing...I wish you lived closer NNBlackGT...I'd love to run the Silverado against you.
For entertainment, I'll take the clubs and go out to a field or the driving range and just hit some ***** for a little while, or play Gears of War, or do a little offroading.
Plus...there's always something to work on on the truck. And if there's not, there's always things to break to work on on the truck.

It would go 15mph and pull a damn good wheelie.. but the stupidest part was my buddy made the straight pipe and it pointed in front of the motor. Once we put that striaght pipe on it started burning oil, all that oil smoke came back in your face,lol and burned your eyes pretty bad. Of course we had no sense whatsoever to fix the exhaust.

NNBlackGT, sounds like a plan, let me know if you get down here, I'll probably be around (or in north Texas...close enough). Where's this Probe club at?
