Hey all!
I'm new to this forum as a member, but I've been checking it out for a few years now for tech info. (found answers to questions through google.) I'm actually new to forums in general.
My Daily Driver is a '67 Suburban with barn doors, a 292 I6,SM420 trans, and '78 half ton running gear. PO did the running gear switch for the disc breaks, better rear gear ratio, and 5 lugs. But the truck is technically a C20 with reduced carrying capacity. Oh and he cut the coils a bit for "moar loar".
I have high hopes for the future of this thing. I like the current color combo of orange/red body with white roof, but want to put a twist on it when I get all the body work done. I want to go Hugger Orange on the body, and there's a cool off-white color used on new Ford Exploders that I want for the roof. I also plan on dropping in the 350 that's in my fiance's '69 Nova Daily driver right now as soon as I get her numbers matching 307 rebuilt with a little more Ooomph.

Yes, that's right, I have other cool cars taking up real estate in my driveway right now. There's the afforementioned Nova, a '70 F100 SWB truck, and soon to be a '69 Datsun 521 pick-up.

For all you picture whores, I'll now attempt to at least link to some pics I have in photobucket...

...And the engine that currently resides in the Nova...

I'll get some more pics of the nastiness once the weather clears up a bit. The weather outside is frightful!

Ciao,
