WOW..... WOW..... WOW...... WOW..... That's an amazingly beautiful difference from when you got them!!!
We've got a '94 3500HD tow truck with a tbi 454 and 5 spd. A friend who's a Chevy nut thinks a 12v conversion would be too much work. I would love to put a 12v in it if I get the resources and time! Let us know how it goes, as it goes.

hammered the rims and tires on tonight. night time pics suck but it'll do for now. It's 100.5 " wide...........I think some vehicles shoot for that as a wheelbase :gulp: forgot to bring the centercaps so shes bare for now. next engine and driveline.....then paint job.
