New member [lots o pics :) ]
Hey guys and girls, my name is Matt, im 23 from Canada. This is my first resto project ever and im starting with relatively no experience. Ive always loved these 67-72 trucks and want to build a nice muscle truck.
My vehicle is a 71 GMC LWB w/ 350 , TH350 and 12 bolt rear end I bought it for $1000 Right now shes all the colors under the sun IE. red, primer grey, black and baby blue. I have a 454 from a 73 burb and TH400 in the garage but it needs some work before I can put it in my truck I have so many questions for you pros, I dont know where to start. So ill show some pics Last edited by cerebus; 05-12-2007 at 07:49 PM. Reason: adding content |

Re: New member [lots o pics :) ]
Question:
I found a number on my rear axle "THA K 022" but I cant find any info on that on the internet... Is there some other number that I should be looking for to find out my gear ratio and if I have posi? |

Re: New member [lots o pics :) ]
Welcome!! Since you say you don't know where to start you just found the right place.This BB is better than a manual.You do need a manual.Also check the FAQ's section.Lots of posts on how to do things there.Then come ask if you have questions.Remember "Knowledge is power" and "there are no stupid questions"
