This is my 1998, After 2 years of driving
crappy cars, I finally found exactly what I wanted, and it became mine
on July 8, 2005. The truck currently has 55,000 miles on it, and has
never been driven in the snow and I try not to drive it in the rain
unless I really have to.
The only modification to the truck when I
got it was a Stillen Rollpan and a K&N air filter.
Since owning the truck, I have added (in
order):
MSD wires, cap and Accel plugs, Flowmaster dual exhaust with custom
stainless steel tips, custom R/T stripe, tinted windows (had to take
those off because I got a ticket),a 56mm throttle body spacer, and 4:10
gears. Other than those mods, the truck is completely stock, inside and
out. I will be taking the truck off the road in the end of october and
storing it in my garage.
During that time, I have plans for some extensive performance upgrades.
These will include a set of Gibson headers
(wrapped afterwards), K&N Fuel Injection Performance Kit (FIPK) intake,
TransGo shift kit, and if money allows possibly a functional ram-air
hood and aluminum cylinder heads. As far as the visual appearance goes,
I am going to install 2" lowering blocks in the rear to level it out
with the front of the truck and then add a Viper steering wheel (because
the leather wrapping on mine is getting kind of worn out). I haven't
raced or dynoed my truck, but I estimate that it will do the 1/4 mile in
about 14.8 seconds and is putting out about 255-260 horsepower at the
wheels.
