    Those trucks always looked sharp in red or silver to me.

    Well if you want more power look up what pump you have. Am Bosch or Robert Bosch and you'll find tons of info on how to open the rack more and tweak the timing a bit

    If your not putting it on the road right away maybe find a 12speed mack or take a 1469B and take the back box off a 14613 to get a .62 od on the final split. My dad did that to the 93
