Looks good !!! Now, if you'll just slam the front end into a brick wall, then back into the same brick wall at about 30mph, then you'll have a nice looking squarebody.

TIP !!! Be sure to hit the wall square and straight on. You don't want one side shorter than the other. :roflbow::roflbow::roflbow:

Nice truck. Can have your red bench seat? My 90 has red interior like yours but it tore/wore out on fabric on the seat.

lol eventually we'll get more lol. Yea I covered the red up with a seat cover, wished it was black. They do have replacement covers you can do yourself.

I made this mistake getting a factory red fuse box door, doesn't match, saomebody dyed most of or half of my interior red. I think the seat is not dyed though, but the kick panels and door panels were and are now, and I suspect the dash was since the color doesn't match.

well FML the air cleaner won't fit. it won't fit dad's truck either being drop base. Won't even fit with the tbi ring in place. So now I have to order a raised base air cleaner bottom that's at least 3/4 tall to clear. Dad's had 1/2 inch raised and would hit the tps plugin, lacked a 1/4 inch. I'll be putting the order in to summit in a week or so.

$10, plus $5 for handling from summit, but I had other stuff to order so it raised the shipping to $10, but I got the wing bolts for the valve covers cheaper then reg. chrome bolts, and get a breather cheaper, along with the air cleaner stud cheaper as well. it was the only place I could find just the base, anywhere else I would have to take and ship mine back, eat the shipping costs, wait for a refund to put back on my card, then find the replacement and wait for it. This way it'll be here and I'll have an extra base for who knows what, and I got other parts I wanted too lol.
