Howdy from Baghdad
« on: January 08, 2010, 12:52:46 am »
Would like to introduce myself here to the forum. I am currently stationed in Iraq enjoying the nice winter weather 8)  I have a 82 lwb reg cab k10 lifted 4 inches with 35 inch BFG ats. It currently has a 350/700r4 combo.  My only plans for it is to paint the truck one solid color which I am thinking flat black for easy upkeep.  Also swapping in a 4speed so I can row my own gears. Other than that the ol girl will just be used for daily driving.  I am currently looking for a 73-79 truck that I can lower and make into a show and go truck. Hoping to pick up a lot of good info in this site and learn a thing or two.
