Been a while
What’s up everyone I haven’t really been active on this forum In a while figured I’d throw my new truck on here and say what’s up. It’s a 1978 gmc serria stepside it has a 350 with a sm465 in it long tubes full exhaust with x pipe slp mufflers and tail pipes that’s are tucked under the rear fenders. it’s been lowered 5/7 ridler 650 wheels AZ pro performance big brake kit. Also threw a set of a buddy of mines 6 piston brakes from his brake company. Just installed a holley sniper efi and hyperspark in it it’s been great so far looking to keep the engine old school and not do a ls. Going to start gathering the parts to do a t56 swap this weekend since my 3 speed is junk.

Re: Been a while
That's a neat truck. It was ready for its next stage of development when you got it. I like most of the changes, but dude, the lanterns, haha!

Re: Been a while
That’s a bad looking pickup! Just finished mine up and returned to the forum after a couple years too.
