Re: Any students on here?

i'm 18, and just graduated highschool, however i didn't get a chance to drive the K20.

i plan on driving it to college next year tho, so there are still high hopes. it'll never be a show class truck, or even close to being "pretty". but, it'll sure be fun.

even without ever driving it, my friends knew me as the old chevy truck guy. along with the fact that i fired it up at my graduation party with open headers on the 292, and left a pretty decent burnout on the road in front of my house, before turning onto a dirt road to have some fun.

there was a guy at my school that bought a '71 C10, lowered. he put a 383 stroker in it...that was a fast chunk of steel. then a buddy of mine finished restoring a '70 K10 with his dad, and drove it to school once in a while. it was nice to see old iron in the parking lot, compared to the newer rice that so many people are so fond of.

.later days.
