no initiation process? I like it!
well initially I signed up to get some questions answered. but cruising around the site has pretty much answered most of my questions. Big thanks to all the guys and their info in the 73-87 area.
My rig is a 76' short box chevy 2wd, in line 250 with a 3 on the tree. It has manual discs up front and no power steering. My intentions with the truck are to make it a solid daily driver that I can have fun in when need be. I will be doing an sbc swap, along with something with a floor shifter. Also, I'm thinking I want to get into the rear end and go with a little higher gear set. Perhaps a 2.73 or so. I look forward to countless information and reading.

Re: no initiation process? I like it!
Welcome!
The manual steering isn't so bad if you get used to it. Pop the clutch, get some weight off the front and then steer. It may take some planning on where to park as well., but that 6 tuned will get a bit better milage than a V8... |
