New Guy from Wichita, KS

Hey gang! I'm a new guy from Wichita. I'm 27 years old and have always loved the '67-72 trucks. My dad had a 72 that he converted to 4x4 when I was a kid, and I was hooked since. At 15, I bought this '69 CST10 with a 396 and Turbo 350. It was the classic two-tone green that was popular back then. About a year after I got it, Dad and I restored it, doing everything but body repair ourselves. We went with a metallic Viper blue, with metallic pearl white. A year later, I spun a bearing in the big block, so I had it rebuilt, boring it 0.060" over. Unfortunately, it never ran right after. I parked it, leaving it for my 3 younger brothers to drive to high school, just as I did. I bought a '71 parts truck about 5 years ago that had a 350 SBC crate engine and 350 tranny, both with only 2k miles on them (only paid $600 for the truck!) , and dropped that into it. And that's where she's at now.

I found this site, researching for info on the front disk brake conversion I'm about to do on it, using the same parts truck I got the 350 from, as well as a 2/4" lowering job. Once that's done, I'm getting new wheels/tires for her. It has 3 different types of tires on it now because I knew I wanted new wheels soon. One day, I'll get a big block back into her!

Here's a couple crappy cell phone pics. They're not that great.
