Only problem I see with it is it's way too sweet to drive everyday.

It runs good, but I would like to put a 6 speed auto in it. the 540 is a non lock up and no overdrive. I will eventually get rid of the hood scoop as well, it hides 2 or 3 cars. A friend built the truck for himself, but decided to sell it, so I get to have all the fun.
