    Question regarding your gauges. Are you able to use the factory speedometer? If so what did you need to do to keep it?

    My truck was originally equipped with the baby 904 automatic transmission which is nearly the same as the v8 904. Original speedometer cable hooks right up, just had to swap the speedo gear in the transmission.

    Truss for the rear axle housing. I'm curious how far I can push the the stock differential and just trying to save a couple dollars.

    New exhaust tips and put the rear bumper back on for more rear weight. Took the bumper off over 25 years ago and I actually like the look of it back on the truck.

    Keeps more heat inside the tubes, hotter gases flow faster. Also lowers under hood temperatures.

    Headers wrapped and installed, ended up taking few days to build both sides. First time building headers and they are a tight fit.
