Just wanted to say hello and do a quick introduction. Looking forward to learning from all of you that've been modding/restoring squarebodies for a while now (my first time) and later, sharing my build:rocking: Truth be told, I've been reading/learning for weeks now! I've mostly been modding late model Chevy Silverado's with LS based motors, about 8 years now, but my heart has always been in the older pre smog era vehicles. Enter my current project, bought a 1973 C20 2wd roller. Looking to bring it home sometime this month from "on base" (where it's being stored now). I'm active duty military (navy 16+years), just had our son born last November and am in the middle of a home renovation! What's that saying? Never a dull moment! Ok, back to reading!

Thank you! Cool, I have lots.....not many of the C20 yet, but I do have some fairly decent 05 Silverado pics.:party52:

Welcome from a little north (but still SoCal). :D

I have to admit.. Im a bit jealous that you have a Pre-75 no SMOG version.. Ugh. These regulations on my 77 are a constant major buzzkill.
