I'm the new guy from Phoenix - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CgSimms · 07-14-2008, 05:15 PM

I've been watching this forum for some time now, from the outside of course. I finally decided to join so i can have a chance to meet some more chevy enthusiasts. I'm originally from Utah and now stationed here at Luke Air Force Base. I have a 68 GMC 1/2 ton short bed. I built a Vortec 383 and recently outfitted it with the Edelbrock Pro-Flo Fuel injection system.

My truck has a 4 inch lift and is sitting on 33" tires. I'm runnin 3.50 gears with a lockrite locker in the rear. When I bought the truck a few years ago it had a hydraulic Winch, pressure supplied by the power steering pump. It doesn't work any more, its got a bad solenoid.

I have also owned a 72 Chevy Long bed, wasn't anything too special. I do wish i had kept that truck because for my next project I want to build a dually with a Cummins and the 6 speed that bolts behind it.

With a truck as sick as yours, I don't think you can say that mine is cool. Thanks though. Let me know if you ever need an extra wrench.

You'll find that there's lots of PHX peeps on here, or at least people from the surrounding areas. We need more pics of your truck!
