Hey all, my name is Dennis, Im 18 and been into sports cars my whole life, but here recently Ive taken ownership of my grandfather's(who passed away) 72 GMC c1500 Inline-6. As far as performance it will be switched motor, switched to 4-n the-floor, and stroked. Right now Im working on visual aspects of the truck, has horrible amount of rust so time to break out the bondo! Hope to get some great advice from everyone and meet some new truckers!

 

welcome to the board man. good luck with your build up;. you shoudl put a ls1 in that truck. lol im also form KY. but im in the navy stationed in VA. where are you form in KY?

 

That truck will be awesome with the 6.0L and a 6 speed.

Welcome

 

Im from Hazard, KY. Just a few counties over from the Virginia line. Right now Im only doing the cosmetic things to start off, so any guidance on lowering, body work, etc. will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome!
Replace the rusty sheetmetal and use as little filler as possible. As far as lowering, the lower the better. lol
