While I would not have picked that hood for my truck I think it looks really good on yours. Once it is painted it will be sweet!

I lugged it up there, I put a couch cushion on top of the engine to rest it on. It wasn't too heavy. The orange cable is the radio antenna.

Thanks! Now hopefully the hailstorm we're supposed to get tonight doesn't ruin my hard work. :o

He was over to the house in it yesterday. I think it looks better in person than the pics. Hard to believe taht our two trucks were twins about 3 years ago. Even came from the same dealer.

If FB stands for Fat Butt, then yes, that is Stealth.

It did a few years ago. The thing has 240,000 miles on it. The apex seals are bad and the carburetor needs adjustment. It fouls the cats, and that gets expensive. :o

I'm thinking of selling it for scrap or putting it on craigslist.

Are the Apex seals stuck or broken?
