Hello from Seattle Area - 1978 Chevrolet K20 Intro

[TubeTruck]

Thanks, Armand. I’m originally from Central MA, Worcester county where my family still resides. Great looking truck!

We have 2 things in common. I'm originally from Worcerster, MA and my Suburban came from Washington State, though I bought it from someone in Oregon lol.

from northern IL and nice looking truck! I see you've done a lot to it already. I like the EFI setup. I want to fuel inject mine also but holding out for an L29 I'm supposed to get from a buddy of mine. Trying to limp along my engine till I can get it. Looking forward to see what else you do to yours.

Thanks, Denis! We have three things in common. I worked in Harvard, Illinois for Motorola for several years so I’m familiar with your current part of the country. Thanks for the note.

I haven’t lived in MA since 1989 but I bet some of my cousins who sell GMC trucks in MA have been there.

Sweet truck. Really similar to what I’ve done engine / Sniper- wise.

Hi Jeremy,

Do you have a little time this week to catch up by phone? I’d like to pick your brain about my Vortec swap and get your advice about a few things.
