hey all, don't really have a good reason for not posting here sooner...i knew about the website, just was too busy posting away on FullsizeChevy.com to come on over here...but they are mostly 88-up trucks over there so it'll be nice to get into a site where the older, <cough>better<cough> trucks are the focus.
anyhow, my ride is a 1983 GMC Sierra K1500 shortbed (my 6th 73-87 C/K), i am the 3rd owner, and she has 77k original miles. right now she has her stock 305 (runs great, but of course, not strong...lol) and 700R4 combo. and some GM "engineer" thought it would be a wise idea to pair an already sluggish combo with "stump puller" 2.73 gears...
. i have a Jegs 350 waiting patiently in my in-laws garage that i plan to install sometime after XMas.
i am originally from Mobile, Alabama, just got out of the Army after a 7 year stint with one Iraq deployment under my belt, i am a natural-born gearhead and am down to wrench pretty much whenever. i am also heavily into wheelin (this truck's rebuild/buildup will be geared to offroad, but i am not going to hack her up...she's too pretty
) and pretty much anything that has to do with automobiles.
i know, this is probably one of the longest intro threads on here, just figured i'd give ya'll some insight as to who i am...if ya wanna know anything else, feel free to ask...i hope to be here a long time and get to know as many of ya'll as i can...here are a few pics of my Sierra for ya'll...BTW, name's Josh
this is when i first got her...
here she is now, after a little clean-up work...
