That makes my ****** moist.

It has the wheels you just got Andy.

Mine are the 6-lug wheels. I did have a set of those wheels though, on the '90 Burb I sold a little bit ago. Unless that truck has the 9.75 wide wheels? Mine were 8.25 I think.

Overall nice car - but I'm not a fan of those subframe connectors. With the number of top-quality connectors on the market those things they installed are little more than abominations. NOT a fan. Should have used a 455 pontiac too. Would have been more realistic. Nice car though.

Actually for that year, an Olds 455 would have been more realistic. By that year, the Pontiac motor was out of production and Olds 403 was used as the TA motor.

I thought you could either get an Olds 403 or Poncho 400, High altitude and some states got the 403 for emissions purposes, difference was on the hood scoop T/A 6.6 = Pontiac 400 6.6 Litre = Olds 403

And you could very well be right about that. I'm from Cali so emissions was a big deal there.

I did some reading that said that most cars came with the Olds 403, 4 speed cars only came with the Pontiac 400. In 79, all California cars were 403 and very few cars were sold with the 400. This was all coming from Hemmings and a TA forum.
