Here's my introduction... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

silverspeed04 · 11-03-2010, 02:38 AM

Hello, just wanted to introduce myself after finally getting on the site. My name is Mac and I am a Chevy addict. LMAO I am in the Army currently deployed to Afghanistan until after the 1st of the year sometime then its back to Tennessee. I finally got a hold of a 72 C10 Longbed, something I have been itching to own since my first exposure over 15 years ago.And thanks to my loving wife it made it to my garage 3 days later. I got a good deal on a starting point for my first and most meaningful build (as soon as I get home to it). Not going to let the cat out of the bag but build time is projected to be 3 years and then it will be Goodguys quality.

I have been following the forum and some builds for some time but just became a member and paid for my yearly subscription. I am very excited to discuss this lifestyle and passion with all of you and meet some of you at the upcomming shows this spring (Yes I am already looking forward to spring).

The rest of the lot includes a sexy 2005 2500HD Ex Cab 6.0 with 18" moto metals wrapped in Terra Grapplers, a 2004 2WD RCSB 4.8 Silverado (hopefully gone soon) a 2001 VW Jetta (the wifes daily), an 06 ZX6, and my wife's 06 yamaha yzf-600r. I have a 96 Banshee too but after the left piston shattered and blew out the bottom end it just serves as an expensive seat now.

Pics comming up soon!

You should definately go see her. Just the drive there, once you get into TN is well worth it.

**Clyde65** · 11-05-2010, 11:05 AM

Silver,

Did you know there is a MONSTER coming out of your hood?!!!!

Thanks to you and all your fellow soldiers over there defending our country and our way of life. We love ya and pray for your safety. Also thanks to your family for their sacrifice too!

silverspeed04 · 11-05-2010, 04:24 PM

I did see that and that gave me an idea (not a monster logo truck either). Planning on stashing a monster under the hood.

Loud rumbles scare women and children!
