New guy from Middle Tennessee

Hello everyone! I've been lurking for a while, but just now decided to join. I'm fortunate enough to reside in Crossville, TN where some of the best trucks in the country come and go. I've been around The Truck Shop since i was a kid, and always loved seeing what they had in stock or what they were building. I always had a soft spot for these trucks, but I've always messed with drag racing and street car stuff. Mostly late model LS based engines in the last few years.
Now I've decided to start on this new adventure. I purchased a 71 SWB project. Right now it's just a rough driver, but hopefully in time it'll be back to original. Well sort of original except for the LS and 4l80e. Anyhow, good to be here and I'll be looking forward to meeting all of you.

Re: New guy from Middle Tennessee

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Yes I'm very fortunate to live where I do. I've wanted one of these for years, so now I'll give it a go and see what I can do. My goal is to have the clean look of an original with some big wheels and modern drivetrain. I've got a 417ci LS3 headed motor I'm debating using. I can't decide whether to use it or a stock style motor with a mild cam for drivability/dependability.
