New to the board, and to trucks
Hey guys, my name is James and I am 24 years old. I have been lurking on this forum for a little while now and finally decided to join. I don’t have a truck yet but I do own a 1973 corvette that I bought about 6 years ago. I converted it to a manual transmission a short time after I bought it, then while I was in college I built a 1st generation small block so I wouldn’t have to worry about blowing up the numbers matching one.
I love corvettes, but classic chevy trucks have had my interest lately. My father in law has an 83 chevy that he bought new and restored. It is a neat truck with the two tone paint. And red interior. I joined the forum because I want to learn more about these trucks. I am very interested in learning how to lower, and swap an LS series engine into one. I will probably be using the search tool a lot! James Here is the father in laws truck:
