Title: finally made it in
Post by: greatdane on June 18, 2010, 01:31:53 pm: Hello to All,

I have been trying to get on this forum for a week! I don't no why I couldn't? But now I am here so lets talk trucks. I Have a 82 short wide chevy 2wd that I am starting to fix up. It is ugly now but soon it will nice. I pullled the old 305 out and odered a 395 horse 355 crate engine from Dominator Engine in Arlington,TX. I changed the trans to a Non-lockup and had it rebuilt. The guy told me three weeks on the engine 12 weeks ago!?!? Hey good things come to those wait! I hope!? Well I will be on here this weekend talking trucks........ Glad to finally be on the 73-87 forum!

Hey Guys! how do you insert pictures here?

Save the pics somewhere like photobucket. then copy the picture's link. When your typing a response or post, click on the "picture frame" icon, to the right of the you tube icon. Insert the pic's link in this: [ img] [/img ]. Repeat for each pic.

It's not ugly; it's just oozing potential.
looks like a nice solid project.
