New guy from TX
« on: August 22, 2011, 02:26:34 pm »
Hey guys I just joined, my name is Colton and I'm from Houston, TX. I'm 21 and a senior at Texas A&M. I have an '86 GMC 3/4 ton 4x2 with a 350 and a 4 speed on the floor. My dad bought the truck brand new in 86 but stopped taking care of it. I got a hold of it and have put a lot of work into it, looks nearly identical as to when it rolled off the lot and runs good. I'm a diy kinda guy and I don't think the truck has ever been taken to a mechanic for work.
I'm really excited to share my passion for chevy trucks with y'all and am glad to be a part of this group.
'86 GMC 2500 High Sierra
