New old guy
Hi All
I have been lurking for about two months since I found this board and I finally decided to join. I have seen a lot of questions I had some info on but wasn't able to post so I can ask and answer now. I have a very nice 1967 stepside I bought from a good friend and it had a ticking noise in the engine and he didn't want to fix it so he sold it to me and I found a flat lobe in the cam so I am going to replace the engine with a built 350 that I got in the deal. It has a 700r4 tranny that has been beefed up but it leaks a tiny bit of fluid from the front seal so I wanted to fix that before I start driving her. I don't want my first post to be too long so I will post more later. I like this board much better than any others I've found because there is no spam or porn or flaming allowed and the members all seem really decent. VetteVet

I have pictures on my computer and as soon as I figure out how I will post them.
I thought I could send them with the post but I guess I need to have a host account. I have a lot of learning to do to use this forum so please bear with me. VetteVet

Welcome to the board.
You have to resize pics to a smaller size to use this board to host them, or have another site host the pic and link the pic to your post and they will show up.

 from Oregon. Maybe I shouldn't mention that it's been nice and warm here lately. At any rate this is indeed the best place on the web.
