New Member, Old Chevy Silverado K20 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Greetings from Ontario Canada. I was very surprised how many Canadians I have seen on this site just by reading through all the great posts and builds in the last few months!
I have seen and learned a lot on this site so I thought I would register then share some of my knowledge that I have gained.
Some History... I have had a 1972 C10 ( in my avatar, really kicking myself for selling it, 50,000mi org ) But, one of my favorites was this 1981 K20 EX Canadian Military. Have always had way more fun with the 4X4's.

This next pic was from 1989. Two great old Chevys and a Brand New, less than 1 week old 1989 Dodge Cummins! That was a great old 1st Gen.

Many years and trucks later, I bought this for next to nothing.

I have driven Cummins and old Chevys and now am in the middle of combining both by parting out the old doner truck.

(That is a old picture. haha. I wouldn't part out that clean of a truck!)
Long story short, I too am doing a Cummins Conversion in a 1986 Silverado.

Thanks. I hope to start up a build thread soon. Which area would be better suited?

Welcome to the forum! That looks like an awesome truck you're building! You should post a build thread in the diesel conversion section, which is a sub division of the engine forum.
