Sound great Chris! Are you running any mufflers, or straight through?

Buttoned everything up last night and drove my Dad around the block! First drive went great so I loaded Lucy the hound up and drove her home. She did flawless! Here's to a great spring and summer of driving!!

I was debating on going with a dual carb setup on my 36, you have helped me answer that one.
Really nice truck you have - enjoy!

I've been putting the miles on the 33 mainly because the spring has been so nice here. Still tinkering with jet sizes and such but she is doing great.
