New guy and truck
« on: March 30, 2008, 09:06:58 PM »
Hey everybody. I'm new here, I found this site while looking for stuff for my new to me 1978 Chevrolet. It's got a 305/350 and very little rust or dents. I've got a 327 waiting for a rebuild and I'm looking for some 15X8 rally wheels (already have 2), or some black Nascar type wheels. I also plan on droping it and doing some work on the interior. One of the past owners converted it to an automatic. I plan on fixing that too.

An automatic is ok for my mini van, however for real fun I prefer a stick.
