Hi all my name is steve i have been lurking on this forum for quite some time now and figured i would join and post up my project. its about 80% done now but better late than never. Its a 72 gmc sierra grande my dad gave me this truck for a project about 2 years ago. It was originally a lwb and i cut it to a swb my plans with it are street strip truck it will see alot more strip time than anything though. Here is a few pictures i have tons of pics throughout the build any questions just ask i love these trucks and this forum has tons of them. This forum is great i have used alot of info from it and it has helped my truck get where it is today. I will upload some more updated pics soon .
