    I was always into cars from the time I was little. My dad wasn't ever a big car guy, his boss however was and I think that's where I picked it up from.

    I found this site after searching literally "ls1 truck". I was talkig with my cousin about swapping an ls1 into my truck and was doing research. It's all yalls fault that I have gotten the crazy mod bug. I have done every mod my truck currently has thanks to all y'all.

    And like Justin said...some of you are like family.

    I'd have to say that one of the guys who used to be on here a lot (NITROUS) got me interested when he pulled into the Sonic I was working at back in the day. He had a Vette engine in his silverado and that's what got my wheels turning. I never had the time/money to do anything major with my truck, But after I get the new one and sell my old truck, I should be able to get the new truck boosted.

    I lived in Texas City and seen his truck around, thats how I ended up here. So a special thanks to him even though I would see him alot around and only talked with him once. I talked to him as well cause it turned out his sister was aqauinted with someone from my lady's past. Other than that, I bought my truck from a friend to help out and it helped me out as well. Its been slow going but I am going to make this truck run for what I have!! I have been in to cars even before I can remember, and it wasnt any influence from my father or anyone else. Its what I already knew I liked

    I also wanted to say a thanks to CHUYR. I met him because I've seen his truck on the street that I live on. Since we have been hanging out, he has helped in lots of ways. He went with us to install the motor in the vette, helped me move, helped get my motor and break it down, plus more. For a younger guy, I have never met a more mature person for his age. I guess when I was as young as he is, I was with the wrong crowd!

    thanks to Tory(not a member) i bought my 1st truck and went to the track that night, he amazed me at what a truck could do and he helped me get started, along the way i met a few guys from the DFW area and later on met Virgil. a few years later found this site, and Moze's truck was a big inspiration to me. thanks to everybody on here that has helped me along the way.

    Appreciate you guys for your answers, suggestions, opinions, and of course criticism! Being 6'5" 330lbs. I pretty much dont fit into cars anymore, so trucks is my thing now. I been turning wrenches for a while now and still get the anxiety and joy out of modding a vehicle. Plus its a good hobby to avoid getting into trouble. For future reference I will have many more questions and again, Thx!!
