Well looks like it is my turn.

Hi to all.  My name is David.  Right now I have a carrer with O'Reillys Auto Parts.  I'm not married but in a commiitted relationship with my girl Cherish.  We have had 2 wonderful children.  My daughter, Makiah Grace, is a year and a half and my son, Keegan Jace, is 8 months old.  We live in Wichita Falls, Texas.  I have finally owned my first full size chevrolet pickup.  It is 1981 Chevrolet SWB.  The power plant is a 350 that has a MSD ignition 6AL box, blaster 2 coil, and a MSD Distributor.  It breathes from a K&N Air Filter.  The sound comes from Hooker Headers with 3 inch pipe to a pair of Flowmaster 40 Series Delta Flows that are dumped right betore the rear axle.  The stance has changed from stock to a 4/6 drop.  The works are soon in for a full air bag suspension.  I plan on doing a 383 stroker kit also.  Well I hope to chat with everyone soon.  Also if there is an one located near me that wanna get a car and truck club going get in touch with me.   My yahoo name is ShorT81CheV feel free to add me.

I am Thomas, I have owned a few Stepsides and shortbeds all from 69-79 in the past. I prefer the 73-79 models with a 73-74 grill. I just sold my Toyota 4x4 to get a Stepside that has a 6 cylinder, I was suprised when I actually found what I was looking for, one that was in terrible condition that ran, for cheap that I could fix up. I need a daily driver that is good on gas and I has an iniine 6 before and it ran super, so I knew what kind of power I could expect out of it. Here's my gallery that is updated each time I get something done to it.

I'm Chris, I'm 35, married with a one year old. I am a carpenter in north Texas. I've be visiting this site since I bought my 77 step side last year. I really appreciate the help and advise from this site. I haven't had to work on cars much since I was 18, but I've always been interested. Now my 77 is just for cruising, not to get me back and forth to work. Much more fun.

[Texas82]

Hey guys my name is James. I'm a 27 year old mechanic, husband, and father of a three year old boy.(Got lucky the first time!!!) I was driving a 82 shortwide until felt it necessary to take every bolt out of it, and start over.  I'm sure I'm the first one right. I reside in the Texas panhandle, where there's no rust and unfortunatley no rain. I look forward to sharing info with everyone.

Hello all, my name's Jason, and I've got an '81 c10 shortbed. It was bought about 5 months ago from a local Dodge dealer for $500, the guy traded it in for a new Homo Ram, ooops I mean Hemi. Anyways, so far I've redone some of the interior, ran the numbers on the engine and it's a 1970 Z28-350 L-48
rebuilt the th350 and installed a 1500 stall converter,redid the exhaust with 3" pipes and stainless flowthrough magnaflows with dumps,and slapped in a 3.73 gearset. I've also got a new comp cam with .480 lift thats been sitting in my closet since Christmas that I haven't had the time to put in yet, can't wait.[img noborder]http://[/img]
