Hello from Kabul, Afghanistan
Hello everyone! (for the short version stop reading here)
I've seen this site around before but never looked to closely because I do not own (but do admire) a 67-72. I was searching for info about my current vehicles via google and a lot of the information I needed was on this forum. Actually found exactly what I was looking for! (lifting a 2wd 3/4 ton) I haven't seen anything as helpful on any other GM truck forums. About me, I'm a Marine with about 11 years of service, currently in Afghanistan. I have a beautiful wife and a mess of kids that are in North Carolina near the base. The "mess of kids" is why I bought the burban just before this deployment. We are all from Northeast Florida, which when I get done serving is where we will return to. You may see me posting in the regional forums for either NC or Florida because we do travel to Florida a lot. My most important project is making the Sub a little more fun. For me that's power, lift, and mpg's. No particular order, but I have some ideas (35's, turbo, selectable locker, SOUND DAMPING!) I'd love to put a 6bt or Duramax in it. I could probably do the cummins, but I don't have the time or money right now for something that complicated. Most likely I just put a turbo, or get a complete 6.5 with turbo from a newer truck. My 84, which I've had since 16, is my classic love/hate money pit. I've taken it from bad, to good, back to bad in the years I've had it. Currently it's in "bad" shape. If I put a new tranny in it I could drive it to work everyday. However, I'll just say it needs a lot more than that to be presentable. Thanks for all the members that post relevent, helpful, and entertaining info on this forum. I look forward to sharing and learning with all of you. If you have any suggestions or questions for my trucks PLEASE let me know, positive or negative. -Wakeup-

Re: Hello from Kabul, Afghanistan
Here is my suburban and k10, it's the only pictures I have access to right now. The second pictures are kind of how I picture them the 10 with more lift, the burb with a little less. Not sure whose 10 that is, but the lifted burbans is member Davidmichael's, I believe.
