Hello all, I am near Pinehurst N.C.
I am a local shop owner about to build a pretty salty 383 for my 4000 pound Big 10. Looking forward to being around on here.

Here is my truck. My dad bought it used in 1981. I've been taking care of it ever since then!
Current motor, 99 model L31, cammed with beehive springs. Runs 13.9s in the 1/4 mile.
About to go 383. Looking for 500hp. 500tq. Maybe 12 s?

Welcome from Eastern NC. I was last in Pinehurst attending a Ratrods and Rockabilly show on the commons. About two years ago. Nice truck, welcome.

I grew up in Austin, and lived in Dallas area working for Service King in the 2000s.
I moved 1600 miles North to live in the South about 2 years ago when I got married.
My truck ran I20 flawlessly all the way to South Carolina where I took a turn north to the sandhillls of North Carolina.
She got 16 plus mpg running 75-80 with her 700r4 swap!
