Welcome! You've got a handful of us right in your backyard. Are you driving your truck now?

Let's see some pics!

hey,i think i seen you driving your burban today coming out of mickey d's in mooresville...i have a few things to get done 1st...i promised my wife we would drive it on our anniversery trip on the 20th of next month....i'm making descent progress i think,so far i got about everything squared away minus putting on some factory hubcap rims,running the exhaust and lowering it down a few inches...thats off the top of my head so i'm sure its alot more than that...lol

[v62go]

p.s. your burban looks great...

[jeffg1010]

Thanks, and yeah that was me. My 3 year old was begging for french fries.

This is a great site. You can search about anything on here ... it doesnt matter if you want to swap out your 350 for a LS6 or a Duramax diesel, somebody has already done it, or is currently working on it. So, you wont find a better forum.

The only advice I can give is... get some pics of your truck uploaded on here Everybody wants to see what you are working on. I'll be anxious to see it, so i know if I've seen it running around town before.

when i get it road worthy i'll give you a heads-up....i'm still looking for set of factory 6 lug hub cap rims and do a few other things but i have to warn you its not no where near as nice as your ride...thanks billy

look in the classifieds, there is probably some on there.

And, if that doesnt pay off, you can become a premium member and post a classified ad looking for some. It's like $25/year, but there is a lot of benefits to it. Definitely worth it in my opinion. I've sold a bunch of parts on here. I try to stay away from ebay, because there is a lot of great guys on here.

By the way... we dont care if your truck is done. They never are. haha.

billy...I'm just south of ya....look forward to seeing your ride next month, but as Jeff said...post those pictures

[Liz]

I'm not sure.. but do ya'll think we should ask for some pics?

[jeffg1010]

He's kinda close to us... I guess we could just drive over and get 'em ourselves, haha. Actually he's closer to Burdic.

But, I guess since nobody else did, I will...

[v62go]

as soon as its done i'll figure out a way to post pics...and i'm kinda in between both of ya,i live out mooresville hwy right across the county line...

[jeffg1010]
