Just another noob full of questions! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well I have been lurking on here for awhile now and I figure I should stop in and say hi! I don't have a truck yet, but I am gonna get a '67 to match the same year El Camino my 13 year old son has (gift from his grandma). My plan is to eventually have matching drive trains (383/700r4/12 bolt with 4.11's and posi). He will probably run high school drags so having matching drive trains means he will have a spare! But until then I plan on building my soon to be truck into a "shop truck", bagged and running good. Next few summers we will use it to mow lawns to earn us some money for our rides.
I have built up my Jeep (lift, bumpers, skid plates, etc) and am doing the same to my wifes Tacoma, but I have never lowered anything or given it goobs of power! So this will be a fun learning experience for the both of us! I have been doing a ton of reading on here and have learned a lot already. I am sure I'll have a ton of questions to ask along the way, just warning ya!

Welcome from NW Washington. Good luck finding and building your '67. So you are going to attach a mower deck to it huh, that is going to be one of the fastest lawnmowers around. (if you don't count the ones on Home Improvement)

Hey 06rubi ... Sounds like a Great Grandma to me. 67 is a good year as it is the beginning of a great series of trucks!! :metal:
