bowtieguy79 · 03-02-2008, 07:18 AM

Hello all,

Ive been checking out a lot of Chevy truck forums lately. This one was recomended by a friend ( Wasted Income ).

I have a 79 C-10 Big 10 LWB with a 5.3/4L60E. I have owned A LOT of 73-80 GM Trucks, and a hand full of 71 and 72's.

Im looking forward to swapping idea's and learning here.

Have a good one.

Brad
