Re: How's this for a first post?

When I was in the Corps, these trucks were the CUCVs. All stepsides, mostly grays, some forest green. I actually got a military drivers license to drive them. When qualifying, the Motor Pool CPL yelled at me to "quit hottrodding his truck'' when I double-clutched around a corner [used to the 4-speed SM465]. I got the chit however. MPs had a "Black Maria" with a tin box on the bed [like a camper] for rounding up all the drunken miscreants from the streets of Morehead Beach on payday nights. Flight Line operable vehicles had vertical stripes in 2'' white 3M reflective tape on the front bumpers just 2-4 inches outboard of the inside bumper bolts. Kinda faded [from back in the day] on the Stepside. I put fresh ones on the Jimmy when I got to run it on the periphery of Williams Gateway while working on a project there in '06. OBTW --WELCOME ABOARD!

Re: How's this for a first post?
Too cool. Inline 6 and boost is unique and I bet that turbo sounds awesome!
I've thought a reluctor wheel on the crank, distributor converted to Hall effect cam sensor, coil-on-plug ignition, and Holley EFI with a turbo would be sweet on a 250-6 and not too difficult to set up. I'll never do it but it's fun to dream.

Re: How's this for a first post?
At least there's still sanity in these trucks. Idiocracy, it's not just a comedy.
That's a bad *&(& truck.

Re: How's this for a first post?
I think you've inspired me to look at my next 292 build project for turbo.
My decision is whether to work up a '67 K/10 Suburban 292/th700r4/np205/3.73 posi 12 bolt: or scratch together a technical desert rat '72 K/5 with a 292/sm465/T-221/3.73 posi 12 bolt and a rollbar/ragtop. I can't do both.
