New Guy from AK
« on: December 30, 2008, 10:02:58 PM »
 My name is Gus Symons and I live in Anchorage Alaska I'm a huge GM fan Especially the 73-91 4x4's ( although The slammed 2-wheels  are cool )I'm here to find resto parts and other tips and tricks for making my rigs nice I'm currently building a 76 4x4 crewcab Silverado and a 79 K20 regular cab oh and a 91 V3500

I threw in a pic of my 75 Chevy Stepside that I just finished last year dont have any pics of the V3500 yet I just bought it

Destroked as in 400 block with 350 crank?  I'm insanely jealous of that truck.  I think we've got some new calender material here.
