I don't know if I'll buy more billet parts or not. I was saving for a belt driven blower for my car the truck is more of a winter beater/daily driver but I would like to dress it up a bit more. I think the ebay store I bought that from was hot zone performance.

Yea I was at the car show in Toronto a few weeks ago (performance world) and I seen a nice orange and some other colours Chev truck droped right to the floor probly had hyro's or bags. The paint was all nice and the interior was done too. But the only thing I thought looked loke ass was the steering coloumn was all stock dirty looking black. This was before I got my shifter (but it was on order) I thought to my self This truck would be done if he had that shifter and cleaned up the coloumn a bit.

Oh yea and I had to drill the hole in the new shifter for the pin to fit but that only took like 2 minutes. I contacted the ebay seller and told him I was kool with drilling the hole but others might not be. He replyed and said thanks for letting him know and that he told the manufacture company just in case they were all like that. I probly just got a lemmon or he sent me one for a newer truck witch is ok cause they were like 84 buks lol.

They do get damn hot. Try a billet steering wheel, I keep a towel in my truck during the summer to steer with:phatyo:
