Newbie from the Potato State
I just wanted to introduce myself. I've owned a 51 chevy 1/2 ton since Nov. 2007. Currently doing the S10 frame swap, 350 sbc/400 turbo, 3:73 rear disk conversion - pretty standard stuff. When I bought the truck, it was half way through a frame off restoration. I'm sure you all know what that means . . . the PO had dismatled everything. It took a flatbed and a 20 foot enclosed trailer to get all the parts home - two trips. This is my first real project and I'm loving it. I can't tell you how much your forum and projects have inspired me. I am new to truck building and to the forum world, so I will need lots of help. Again thank you, for giving me a look at all of your hard work. Your pics and advice are invaluable.
Jeff BTW - are there instructions on how to post pics? |
