Default old school newbi here

Wow, there is a lot of good info, awesome pics and cool s#!t on this forum. I havn't done a build since the early 80s when the kids started coming, back then it was a 68 charger 440 magnum putting out roughly 550hp, lowered, centerlines and corvette yellow, smooooth. As well as my old ****** low hood with a buick v-6, gm 3/4 leafs on all four corners, Saginaw power steering, Toronado tilt telescope with vovlo buckets, the roll bar doubled as the air holding tank, back when the rubicon was a big deal yeah i'm old. Soooo the kids are grown and winter is coming so I'm thinking on doing my 2004 gmc 2500hd 6.0 vortec, mild build, its a good platform to start with I think. Body and interior are pristine, 87,000 miles. Starting with Warn locking hubs, a two inch tortion bar lift and rear add a spring two inch, then put some 4.88's in the pumpkins then maybe even open the hood and see what's up with these new small blocks. I always loved the sound of a high revving small block. so this is me and I'm sure I'll be having lots a questions since I don't understand anything that has an ECM, an O2 sensor and doesn't have a carburetor. But I know I do like the EFI when it's minus 30 degrees outside, thanks in advance to alllllll

If you are wanting to make that truck rediculous in any capacity, you're in the right place
