I'm Scotty, 17 years old, about to graduate high school.  I bought this truck just over 2 years ago and have done so much.  I can't and don't want to explain or list everything that I've done but current specs in my truck right now are
390 FE with Edelbrock Performer Intake and Carb,
Blackjack Headers and 2 1/4 inch stainless exhaust with Glass Pack mufflers.
Standard 4 speed trans w/granny gear and Ford 9 inch rear end with a 2.75 ratio from an early 70's Merc Cougar.

this thing flies with the new rear end and highway driving is so much more pleasant without churning out 3500 rpms on the freeway while driving alongside everyone else's typical 70 mph.  I've done most of the work myself and only hope to continue to keep making it better and better, not quite the quality and perfection of the two bumpside's in August's issue of CT but so that I can enjoy and take pride in my own work and classic truck!
