Hi! I'm Cody, New and full of questions.

Hey guys I recently bought a 72 lwb. 350/350. Very little rust. It has all been weld patched and was done fairly well. I'm getting the old quadrajet rebuilt right now. This thing is a low budget build deal but I will be daily driving this on a daily basis about 5 miles to work. Oh yeah, I sold my 02 Z71 avalanche for this thing, haha This will be a nice truck once it's all put back together. I think the PO thought he'd restart the restore by taking anything off he could with a phillips head.

As soon as I get the truck back I'll post some pictures-promised

Make me feel like an idiot, I don't care as long as I'm learning.

Well Cody, from the Corn State. Sounds like you have a truck & a plan. Now you have a bottomless pit of information..... There are a lot of knowledgeable people on here so if you have any questions post 'em up.. Pictures would be good too.

We have the same name and when I first saw the title of this thread on the first page I paused for a second and was like, "Wait a minute...when did I start this thread?" Sorry, had a brain fart.

Other than that, you've just tapped in to a wealth of free information.

Re: Hi! I'm Cody, New and full of questions.

Thanks guys you all seem real friendly and very knowledgable. As you can see I've been a member since last year when I did a body swap on from a 76 to an 86. I did alot of lurking and searching. I did notice there were a bunch of people from kansas on here.

My wife went to school (not recently) and in her science class a girl asked, "Why is there air?" That question came from a high schooler. But, you are right about students in general. I haul them to/from our middle school every day....and the junior high kids? They're still on the learning curve, too.
