Title: Another new guy from Texas
Post by: mick1775 on December 22, 2010, 10:58:21 am

Howdy from God's Country. I'm a bit new to truck and car repair. Bought an 86 K10,  figured it would be a good vehicle to learn on. I've lurked here for a little bit and have already found out more than I thought was possible.
