Howdy everyone,

New member here from TX, I currently stay in Victoria Tx.  I am semi new to the 73-87 platforms.  I have a 78 that is a GMC rather then a chevy but i figured it would still be ok to join....I have done what I consider alot of novice work to my truck.  I will have owned it 2 years in August of 2015.  I am a transfer from the jeep community and moved into the full size for my adventures haha! I am a Texas A&M graduate class of 13 and am currently a E.I.T in Civil Engineering.  I would like to start a thread on my truck and would love to know if there is a exact place to post.  I have an a pretty big build thread on cherokee forum and am also a member on the texas4x4 forum.  I have decided to join due to the fact that I have asked lots of questions regarding my truck on my thread and the guys there are awesome but just dont get answers good enough or fast enough I think due to the fact that it is a jeep forum...

here is a couple pics of the current state of my rig and would like to go further and start my own thread in the appropriate place

Don't worry about it. They have the same mom but different dads, so we are all brothers and sisters or step brothers and sisters haha. Your good, it's more of square body GM truck site.
