Yep. I'll be blowing right by you on Rte 90, getting ghacked for tolls. It's also why I am bringing my 70 back. Nothing like it here.

I also have a 70 GMC C20 to bring back here and sell.

biglou55 · 07-06-2005, 11:43 AM

Are you coming down 91 and catching 90 in chicopee. It is to bad you couldn.t get a bunch of good CHEAP priced cali. sheet metal (doors -fenders -step side fenders- grills- inner fenders bumpers-seats-etc-etc )and sell it when you get back. If you come back up 91 you can stop off at my house and i would probably relieve you of some of it at a reasonable price. we have 4 or 5 members within fifty miles of me that i could put the word out to.I have seen a few complete short bed stepside beds on here from out there at a reasonable price but shipping was prohibitive. where are they now.

So put the word out, I am coming back with quite a bit of sheet metal.

Good luck with all man!

John,
visit LUV, he'll feed ya.

thanks again for your hospitality Craig

arkracing · 07-07-2005, 12:37 AM

Any 5-lug rear's along the way that you could bring back to CT??? I think burnsman in PA has one...but i'm not to sure how much trouble this stuff will be for you to organize since you are leaving by friday.

if you come across something in your travels for a 5-lug coil spring rear (any gears is fine) i'd be interested. something for around $100-$150 (Including your gas) I know it's a tall order so i figured if you found one in your travels and were willing to bring it back i would by it off you.

*FormerMember* · 07-07-2005, 07:57 AM

Leaving MA today at noon, first stop is in NJ then Buffalo for the evening.

I'll be checking email and the boards every night, so if something comes up, you can get a hold of me.

Should be in Las Vegas, NV by Sunday. El Dorado, CA on Monday.
