Default Hello from the Indiana cornfields!

Register Now to remove most ads!
Just thought I'd start out by saying hello. I found this site earlier today when doing some research on SAS. I thought the community here looked good and decided to join.

My daily driver is an 83 Chevy 4x4 with a 3/4 ton suspension, manual 4 speed and that extra rust option. My project truck started out as a GM replacement cab I purchased off of Ebay last year. It is the 95-98 style crew cab. I purchased a 2wd 1-ton frame that was hit in the front and replaced the front frame section with that of a 4x4. This is the truck I will be doing the SAS on pretty soon. It went from pretty much nothing to a rolling shell in the space of a year with a pretty limited income.

I'll probabyly be picking your brains for help and ideas, and I'll help out when I can. I may do a build thread if the interest is there.

Nice! I love primered trucks. Looks agressive like that... almost like the back alley thug.
