    You're right 550 we all need our hood I been In petes kw,s and freightshakers I don't drive but it was real dumb that. I didn't have a cup holder because the cup holder was screwed up, any day. If we were offered, a w900l or a pete 379 we would have to think about It the w900l,s and 379,s are and o/o,s dream Id prefer a kw900l the first truck. I rode in when I was a kid was a w900 A blue dump truck best year's of my life so far.550 one question how much did it cost you to even get your truck, to get 7mpg,s?

    correct, there is no air to air, we didnt move the engine and trany back cause were still goin with an old school engin, B model cat, and the engine builder said that an air to air wont make that much of a difference on that engine, now if you were gona put a electronic engine in there it might have a major effect

    i seen some where in a truckpaper there was an ad for custom air exchangers, i always worried that there wouldnt be enough room on the sides of that big ol radiator to get the plumbing hooked up??? maybe? beings i was told not to do that i dint worry about it any more haha

    i could talk all day about this project we started, everything leads to another, maybe i should start a new post?
