It is amazing looking at the factory vs Morrison rails side by side. Just thinking about the abuse the factory rails put up with in our cars, how did they even hold up?

If you send me your e mail in a PM I will forward the fish pics from Friday nights trip. Got a few nice ones!

It is such a difference that now I have to reconsider what I am doing to the back of my car. Geez! Thanks for buying such cool parts, now it's going to cost even more to build mine!

Rob -- You just can't have too much truck!!

My truck problem is that it doesn't get driven 'enough'... Most of it's milage is hiway hauling Calfornia and Az and back to the Pacific NorthWET.

Tell you what though -- It has the full Gale Banks 6 gun BIG HOSS bundle -- GPS -- Killer stereo - 500 watt CB -- and Radar detector -- and it can HAUL...

EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

But my tailgate is whimpy...

Good taste! I love the wheels. Nice thing about Forgiato's is they offer them in sooo many different ways.

BIG thanks to Frank! He did a lot of ground work for me today. He also gave me a heck of a deal on my order today.
Ordered this stuff today.
Wilwood 14 inch front and rear brakes in blue with reverse masters

Bad Boy radiator with built in condenser

Billet Specialties in black with PS/AC for the LS2

Ididit column


AND

Ordered the T56 Magnum kit from Keisler

Sunday afternoon, time to put some work in. Boy this Morrison rear clip fits like a glove. It fit so tight I dont know how measurements could be off. I still have to weld it in but I got it in place for now.
Raise the rear first to get it in place.

Little bit from the front and rear jacks now

Added a ratchet strap to help with the one man show,lol

3.2.1....

CONTACT!



These are the only two holes you need to drill on each side. That way you can get to the nut

Thats it for now. Later on when it cools off in the garage Ill tack it in pace and put the rear axle in place. 105 outside is just too hot, I bet the garage is 120.
