I6 now you remember me Oo. i was half tempted to follow you but i just got out of work and was going home to see my baby, and i could only wish that my truck had a dtt transmission, thats where i got my dvs, 370s, and down pipe. and that "custom" bumper is a midnight weekend throw togather job thats not quite finished. and i did some scrounging to find some pics of my other truck.
