Hey Billy,
Welcome to the site. Be sure and check out the nc forums in regions. We have a bunch of folks local to us.

Re: new from north carolina
 

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

Let's see some pics!

Re: new from north carolina
 

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

Re: new from north carolina
 

p.s. your burban looks great...

Re: new from north carolina
 

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 :lol: 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.

Re: new from north carolina
 

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

Re: new from north carolina
 

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.

Re: new from north carolina
 

You got yourself a fine woman.

And a fine burban.

Makes me wanna dance. :four:

Re: new from north carolina

Re: new from north carolina
 

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

Re: new from north carolina
 

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

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

:wop:

Re: new from north carolina

Re: new from north carolina
