New guy from Kansas

[Stroked]

Hello everyone. Name is Jared and I'm from north central Kansas. Found the site a while back and its been a wealth of information so far. Finally got around to joining up. Got an 84 K20 GMC that I'm rebuilding the 6.2 in and it's my first diesel rebuild so it's been a learning experience so far. Working on buying a mid 80's Blazer with a blown 6.2 so I get to do it all over again. Lol. Also have an 06 Sierra, 86 Camaro, and several other junker square bodys.

Look forward to learning a lot here. :hello:

[GM Guy]

welcome! I think you will find that you found the best GM diesel forum on the web.

I am by no means an expert, but if you ever need help bad, I would try to be of assistance!

where in KS are you?

 

[Stroked]

Thanks! I'm originally from Smith Center, but I currently live in Beloit. It's about an hour northwest of Salina if you know where that is.

Know Jones Equipment in smith?

the Severence's in Beloit?

both good people.


are you working for AGCO or going to diesel tech school? I figured I'd ask, as those seem to be about the two biggest reasons to go to Beloit.

 

[Dodgincones]

Welcome! from another nOOb!

 

[Stroked]

Yea I know the Jones. My brother is their head mechanic. Small world eh? Haven't met the Severence's yet.

I work for CPS in Beloit. Its a farm chemical distributor. Gotta go where the jobs are, but I go back to SC most weekends to help my brother on the farm.

Oh and I was going to upload some photos last night but I forgot, dangit. I'll try to remember tonight.

Actually, I might have some on my phone I could upload...hmm...

Welcome.

Got a couple pics for ya. I use to have a sweet 86 K10 stepside in high school and I was an idiot and sold it, so I've had a bad hankering for a square body for the last several years. Now I have 6 and none are road worthy. Lol.

The black 84 I bought from my cousin cause he was gonna crush it(couldn't let that happen now could I?) and the crank broke the day after I got it running. Argh!

So now I'm rebuilding a redblock 6.2 that I took out of an '82 C10 junker. Oh and the flatbed is going bye bye. I think I already found a box for it.

 

[Stroked]

This is my 06 Sierra, the 84 Sierra the day I brought it home, and my 86 Camaro

 

[Stroked]

......and the 82 C10 when we pulled the 6.2/th400. And a couple of the other junkers. The blue one has a 250/sm465, the red 84 was a 305/th350, and the brown 82 was originally a 6.2/th400 but the previous owner put a 350 in it and its a smokin mofo. Lol. And there's a couple more but I don't have pics of them. Plus all the non square body junk. A few 67-72 Chevys and a few old Fords.
