    Welcome to the board,
    where in Tennessee are you located? I see your board name is Chuck Rion and you are in Tennessee, my name is Chuck Irion and I live in East Tennessee. It is kinda ironic

    Chuck - where in East Tennessee - I grew up in Knoxville, but moved to Nashville after college (UTK of course).

    Are you the one who cleaned out the Pick-A-Part Maverick a few months ago. By the time I got to knoxville, it had been stripped of anything good. ;)

    I live in Harriman, I have not been to the pull a part for quite a while but I have been known to stock pile parts. If you ever get back over this way let me know.

    And then after I realized the steering issue I went all the way with an IFS kit which wasnt bad considering I did everything.But technically you can bolt in a sbc with only 69 bucks from jegs or summit and I found this out by accident,you do not have to fabricate any mounts,its all done for you.:rofl2::rofl2::thumbs2:
