new guy, new truck!
hello. new guy here. just got my first square and couldnt be more exited! im Norm and i hail from southern NH. this is the 76 i just picked up 2 weeks ago.
the day i got it picked up some rally wheels the day before i got the truck because that is what i wanted to run and the tires were scary that were on it! looks nice next to the 01!! i have allready started playing around with it, i tossed the cat and did a true dual 2.5 to a pair of flowmaster 40's with turn downs. when i got it she was missfireing bad. come to find out, 2 of the wires were broken so a quick tune up and it runs like a dream! all new sway bar bushings fixed a clunking sound i was getting and i have started the interior. thanks for looking!! |
