Hello. Im a newbie to this site but a regular on several others.

My name is Brad, Im 28, married with a 11 mo old daughter, living in Lincolnton, NC. Grew up in a small town in southwest Virginia. My first vehicle was a 88 K1500, 4.3 5 speed. It was my grandpas and I still have it. The truck is going to need some body work in the future and I would like to upgrade it at the same time. I will definately be installing A/C and at some point swapping to a v8. I joined the site to get as much information as I can on the 5.3 swap and what all would be needed and the cost involved. Then I can decide if I want to go that route or go easier with just a tbi 350.

I look forward to lerking on the site.

Thanks
