hey guys so i picked up a 1997 reg cab short bed. I got it for 1200 bucks with a gutless v6 and a 5 speed. So far i rebuilt the engine stock 12v bottom end has a colt bigstick, 7x.016 injectors (we will see how that goes might go smaller), bd s471 billet wheel comp turbo, .24dv, ofv, head studs, 4k springs, afc live, and 5 inch strait pipe to a 8 inch octagon tip my buddy built. the tranny has a billet triple disk manual valve body and s the normal stuff. Sticking with the 9 an a quarter to start im only 18 so on a budget. Picked up a set of 22 inch mags for 300 bucks and wrapped them in brand new 420s. The truck is in pretty decent shape other then the clear coat coming off. Just wondering what everyones thoughts are. I will try to get some pictures of it. Once its running :lolly:

I think that rear end isn't going to like all the power but if you take it EASY on it till it can be replaced you should be okay.
