New guy from Kansas
« on: April 25, 2012, 08:21:05 pm »
Hello my name is Dustin. I'm new to the forum, but not so new to the 73-87 truck. My Dad raised me in a 82 LWB that we used to pull his racecar all around southwest Kansas, and now between him and I we own 5 of these trucks and no not all are show pieces in fact the 78 I drove to high school you can watch the road pass by through the floor board  ;D. Now I bought an 86 stepside when I graduated high school and it is not like any truck we have so Im just here to ask some questions, and get some ideas hopefully for the build. Thank you guys for a great site for us to get ideas from each other.
