I don't understand why, but I love these trucks (Chevy 6.2/6.5L) and for the last year or so, I'm had this dream/head trip, what ever you call, it to open a little shop and focus on these trucks.

This is Hwy 149 in Richards, Tx. about a mile west of my place looking west.

Evertime I look at this place I think of having a shop. I've talked to at least two other member's that have the same strange urge to go into service.

This is looking north with the side of the building in view.

Yes,


I think you'd have to be able to take them all and


I like the Idea of learinig the cummins systems well enough to try a repower. That idea is big around here and there's plenty of parts available.Edited by: quantum mechanic
