New guy from TX (dfw)
Hey whats up everyone im Matt. Last year I purchased a 72 gmc short step which i dubbed "blucifer" for $2000, with all things considered(condition, new paint, rarity) I think it was a pretty good deal. Im 19 and this will be my first project so I have a lot to learn and a long ways to go (money wise), but it should be a good hobbie to occupy my time. Ive been working on it slowly due to lack of funds and a busy schedule, but im hopin that soon ill be able to get her goin again. Lookin forward to talkin with yall and askin lots of questions lol.
Oh, yeah almost forgot: currently 307, th400 tranny, rebuilt 2 barrel carb  plans include: stroker motor, 650 cfm carb, frame off resto., 3:73's, disc brake conversion, & 2/4 drop to name a few.[/FONT]
