Hi guys Im new to the forum. Ive got a 1997 GMC Sonoma thats been lowered 2/3. Its got a Goodmark Cowl hood and east coast customs rollpan, 20" Eagle 221 wheels. I just purchased an Lt1 and tranny out of a 95 transam. Hopefully I can build it up not a whole lot just cam heads headers intake that kind of thing. I know that theres not many trucks on here especially minis but hopefully I will be accepted anyway. Great site and thanks for the comments.

Hey Neil,
Welcome to the club. Trucks are okay if you like that sorta thing...

What year? Do you have any plans for it?

Its a 95 regular cab. My plan is to drop a V8 in it and make me my own little nascar racer for the street.

Welcome

Trucks are cool! Take a look at Marty's build under Project updates- I think the thread is listed under "New guy latest pics-" I guess I would have to say the brakes are pretty cool too.

Looks good, Lo97... is the tranny 4L60E or T56? Any other drivetain plans? I think I'd consider a late model clip myself, but quite nice as is https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Its 4L60E. The truck is automatic now so its just better to leave it automatic but i think Im going to put in a B and M shift kit in it. Also trying to find a 3.73 posi to go in and a rear disk setup. For the late model clip I'm not going that route cause I want to be a little different but I am in the process of fabing up an Envoy front bumper that I got from GM. Thanks for the comments.
