Default New guy from Missouri

Hi guys, I just signed up but have been lurking around for some time. A little about me, I have always had a soft spot for Chevy/GMC trucks since before I could even drive. I ended up getting into turbo Mitsubishis and have been playing with them for ten years. I am getting out of them after all this time and going back to my original passion. My last turbo mitsu project was actually a truck, an '89 Dodge d50. It had an 8.8 explorer rear, th350 trans and an hx35 turbo. Here are some pics of the truck, all of the fabrication was done by myself except for the intake manifold. The truck is currently being parted so I can have room in the garage for the next project. I am looking foward to meeting new friends and learning a ton along the way.











Here are some pics of my '99 Z71, picked it up from a co-worker. It had low miles and the price was right, and it was well taken care of, so I bought it as a back-up DD. I am not much for the running boards...

Thanks! It is being parted out so I can eventually pick up a RCSB Chevy when I find the right one pop up for sale.
