    Wow that is nice. But i only see one problem with the T100....................... you need a LA sticker on the back instead of the SF one.

    finally workin on my truck again

    new up date on nig truck upgraded to a 78 heater unit my core was cloged up with rust setiment. I had to modify the back of the unit to keep my stock 74 vent. I dissassemble checked the core to be sure it was good and sandblasted the heater unit for paint. I also pressure washed the engine compartment and polished my rims a lil bit, also im getting ready to strip the interior for bedliner on the floor boards for sound deadning and insulator screw that stick on dyno mat crap we bedline it here :) way more durable and washable i can take a hose to my interior to clean it
