Hi there,

I'm Marck, I'm from The Netherlands and really into Chevies.

I currently own:

An 83 C10 silverado stepside Customized and rebuild from the ground up
An 82 Corvette, Twin Turbocharged 355 w/ moon crossram and 4 dellorto DHLA carbs
A 2001 Millenium Yellow 6 speed corvette coupe

Here's a few pics of the truck

Izzy · 09-23-2003, 12:11 PM

TwinTurbo · 09-23-2003, 12:46 PM

And this is the TT engine: (cabrs and stuff are not on it in this pic because they didn't clear the valve covers and I swapped covers but forgot to take a pic, the bowtie covers are on the truck now)
The tranny is a ZF-6 froma 92 Vette.

LOHRTBT · 09-23-2003, 01:15 PM

Nice! Nice ZF Tranny too!

Hi Marck,

That are some good looking cars you got there. I'm from the Netherlands to and I'm restoring my '79 truck at the moment. This forum is the best source for information about our trucks so welcome aboard.

Almost nobody makes sweet twin turbo small blocks here in the states. That is one sweet motor my friend, along with some sweet rides. Welcome to our humble spot on the web

TIMSPEED · 09-23-2003, 06:43 PM

TwinTurbo, you're a member of CorvetteForum also aren't you? Welcome!

*1FaastC10* · 09-23-2003, 06:44 PM

WOW! its been a long time since i've seen a truck that looked that good. welcome to the board!

78' Silverado · 09-23-2003, 06:47 PM

Sweet ass rides man!!!!....Your C5 wouldnt happen to have the "Competition Drivin" Package wpuld it?

junkyardpartseeker · 09-23-2003, 06:49 PM

If you need any help finding parts for those rides, let me know.

Tommy Davis

TwinTurbo · 09-23-2003, 07:08 PM

Yeah, I am Twin_Turbo from the Corvette Forum

As for competition package? What is that? It has active suspension and when you push the button for a couple of secs it goes into competitive driving mode, do you mean that?

For the rest it has a 6 speed, memory pckage, hud, sport seats, active handling, active susp, fog lights, cargo net, bose w/ cd changer, dual zone climate control and some more stuff... only thing it does not have is a sun roof because those things crack way too easy.

junkyardpartseeker,

I have a bud in Houston TX that's gonna prowl the junkyard next week looking for some tids & bits (wiper control module amongst others) If he can't find them I'll let you know.

79BIG10 · 09-23-2003, 07:28 PM

Welcome to the board

Those are some clean sweet rides. Any interior pics of the truck?

**N2TRUX** · 09-23-2003, 08:42 PM

Welcome to the 1973-1987 Chevrolet & GMC P/U Message Board . It's always nice to have someone new come on the forum.

It appears you have things going your way. The truck and cars are very nice. If that's your house, garage, and brick driveway they are setting on, things must be good on your side of the world...

apstguy · 09-23-2003, 11:13 PM

WOW! That is a beautiful truck. Who doesn't like Corvettes? Beautieys

84Stepper · 09-24-2003, 04:19 PM

Awsum truck man!! I really like the vetts too. You'r a lucky man.

TwinTurbo · 09-24-2003, 04:29 PM

Thanks for the nice compliments guys

I'd rather not, still working on that

The interior is kind of a mess, there's checkerboard fabric on the dash and doors and wood trim over the aluminium trim (some kind of custom truck of texas crap) and it's going out. I already placed an order for all new components at Classic Industries and I'll take a pic when that is done

I'd be embarrassed to show it the wasy it looks now

Low87 · 09-24-2003, 05:25 PM

Welcome! Nice looking rides there!

Ric83 · 09-25-2003, 09:12 PM

Welcome!!
That is one saweet looking truck! Love the cars too.

Don't worry about it, post em anyways! You didn't do the interior. And if you still feel embarressed, just post a pic of the twin turbo small block next to the interior shot and presto! nobody cares the interior is ugly.......

the baron · 09-26-2003, 04:43 AM
