Starting the build-up "Red Dragon"

"The Red Dragon" A 1977 chevy cheyenne K10, bought for $2200 and had no intenions of a wheeler at the time. I was 17 and just wanted a truck. I bought new 33x12.5 wildcat EXT's and a 4" lift and off i went. It was a daily driver for a long time, and was abused. Used as a one ton. Loaded with 800-1200lbs regularly and towing appx. a 3000lb trailer. I went through a 350 engine which I later replaced with a new sb400, two t350 transmissions, a 12 bolt rear end, 3 sets of brakes, and a few u-joints. I later changed jobs and bought a car to drive to work. The truck was no longer needed as a daily driver. With the influence of a friend who kept asking me to go along wheeling, i started taking her to the mt. (Picture#1)





After many trips I realized why people build their rigs. I knew this was for me. With more influence and time spent with my fiance's bro' (BrokenAxle2) and now partner in crime, i began the journey of building my Chevy fullsize. First upgrade was a set of 35" Boggers along with a new exhaust, Hedman headers running through 2.5" exhaust through 40 series flows. Added a CB and was back on the trails (Picture #2). Before long i was breaking weaker parts, and looking for more.
