So as of Saturday my truck is back on the road. Not really a Pro Tour' but a good cruiser. It is now procharged with ProM efi and a T56. Still a lot to tidy up but at least I can drive it. Sorry, not much of a build thread.

The kiddo and I rode out to Barber Motorsports Park a few weekends ago to help a friend with some Bike adjustments and decided to take the truck. If I never do anything else with this truck but cruise around with her then I'll be OK with that. Truck has been doing good other than a few bad Wilwood masters I'm using for the clutch but have that sorted now.

Love the truck and I completely agree with the value of sharing this hobby with your child. My girls love my ugly truck and having them riding shot gun with me is second to nothing!

Thank you!! That is really more of what our truck is used for since we got it running. Wish I could change the title from "going pro touring direction" to "Going family fun truck direction" because that is what it has become. I was actually pulling the cab off when my wife told me that we were expecting. The truck also has history with me and my Dad who passed away in 1999 at the age of 43(I'm close to that age now) so I imagine the truck will be around for awhile.

Dude, that's awesome!! I can tell they love it and they will remember this forever. Good looking family and I really dig the truck. I had some Impala SS wheels too. Wish I hadn't sold them. I'm running impala rear disc still.

My daughter wanted to enter our truck in a car show on her own so I told her she could if she helped wash and vacuum it. She won top 30 out of 300+ vehicles! She was super pumped (so was dad)!

Beautiful truck! Ive wanted to do an obs with an LS/T56 or a long time haha. A procharged 454 sounds just as good if not better! Congrats on the trophy and good memories!
