Newbe saying Hi!!!!!

I've been lurking on here for a while admiring the trucks on here...I bought a 81" GMC shortbed fleetside from my uncle for $600 2yrs ago. It was in rough shape but I wanted something to play with. As soon as I got it home I started on it... so far... this is what I have done

truck came with a 96" Suburban 5.7 w/rollercam

mods I added:
New windshield
all new lights(everything new)
99' Yukon 5.7 vortec heads
GM Z06 Vette beehive springs
Will Hoite's Roller Cam 270dur,495/502 lift 218/224@50(not big enough..taking out)
Edelbrock 750 w/performer RPM (replica)Intake
Headers
Summit race Mufflers/2.5" alum pipe and turndowns(too dam quiet..taking them off) going with flowsound race mufflers and 3" out the back
Whiteface Gauge kit(just purchased a new set of gauges with actual gauges instead of indicator lights)
Proform Race Distributer


I did the engine mods myself... I'm taking the engine out again to change camshafts and more compression, and while the engine is out I'm taking the front cap and bed off to get it lookin pretty underneath. I will do a 4"-6" drop while everything is apart. I have the normal floorpan, cab corners and bottom quarters to change out... its not bad though. I'll post pics when I get to my home computer.
