Brand new from western canada
« on: June 15, 2008, 08:29:58 pm »
Hi guys
been lurking for a bit now, and finally registered. 

Here's my truck:

75 sierra camper special 2wd.  350 with long tubes, 2.5" dual exhaust, H pipe and dynomax bullets dumped before the axle.


found some 16" wheels in the scrap pile at work..wanted to put these on because the old wheels were 16.5's and it was hard to find tires.




Body is pretty much mint, interior is clean..and the motor pulls hard. I plan on dropping it down 4 or 5" and replacing the camper mirrors with some of the stock gm ones

1976 3/4T Camper Special
350, LT headers, H pipe, Dynomax bullets, 4/3 drop
