Hi all! Some may know me from other message boards and hear about this one so I thought I might join and help out as well as ask questions when I can. I have a 79 Bonanza Big 10. I'm the second owner and have been restoring it as well as customizing it to what I like. I have pics of the truck and what I have done to it since it died on me and was in a pasture for 2 years. The sound file doesn't work as it has before but I can email you the MP3 of it if you would like.

Future plans include getting a 3.73 rear end and posi (looking for first) and tehn upgrading the front end and interior. Last will be rear suspension and 700r4 then paint finally.

Sorry for the long post. Let me know what you think about it.

Welcome to the board FNG. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/board/ubbhtml/wink.gif I think you'll like hanging around here. We are friendly and polite. Good place to ask questions and mostly to find some good parts too.

I like the exhaust setup. I just bought two flowmastes for $50.00 from a guy who sold his truck. Just need headers and one more cat. Dual exhaust getting closer to being added.

Low84- I thought that was you there. Thanks for the compliments. I really like the sound too. I have thought about adding tips but decided that it would sound more like a mus**** and that's not what I want at all.
