New, sorta?
I joined the site in 05, didn't really use it very much until recently. I figured i would take a second and introduce myself since i never really did so when i joined. I'm 22, I live in northern nevada (reno), and i bought my 1970 GMC when i was 16 from the original owner. Had a 383 stroker when i got it, unfortunately i was young and stupid and spun 2 rods and blew the motor. So i decided to build a new engine, then thought hell, might as well replace the transmission, and before i knew it i had half the truck taken apart. Fast forward 3 1/2 years, i'm almost done. So far the interior is entirely brand new (original seat), new transmission, i rebuilt/twin-sticked the transfer case (NP205), i rebuilt the front axle, had the driveshafts rebuilt, 4" tuff country ez-ride springs up front, ORD shackle flip with the 52" springs in the back, poly bushings all around, poly cab mounts, replaced all the heater vent lines, rebuilt the heater controller, also had to replace the heater/ac diverter box. I did some custom touches here and there too, my favorite is a clock from an 80 something chevy in the vac gauge location. I've had alot of help from my dad, and overall it's been a pretty fun project for both of us. Anyways thanks for reading, i'll post a few before/during/after(ish) pics of the truck.
