Hello Y'all! Im New to the forums.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Mr Reno · 10-22-2007, 04:41 PM

Hello

I've been reading the forums for a couple of days now. This is a great website!

Me...
Im 42 years old and live in Southern California, Never been to a truck meet or a super chevy show. BUT.... I own a 1972 that been sitting for a long time, So it needs lots of work. Its been a dream car of mine, So my son and I are going to start working on it, (he is 15) I think we're leaning to a rat style ride because our funds are in the low bugget bracket. It did run the last time it was parked and had electrical problems, Wiring haxs.... The bed was rusty and I did buy a replacement years ago.. It sat at a weird angle and held in the water???

The Truck...

Fleetside Short Bed
V8 Automatic
Power steering - Brakes
Air Conditioning

LOL ya thats a toilet on the hood....

-Larry

PS Thanks for having me.......

Hi Larry! I'm new here too (found this website thanks to a recommendation from boise69), never been to a truck meet either nor a super chevy show (don't even know what that is, actually) ... BUT! We own a 1994 that needs some care too.

We live in the Adam's Hill (Adam's Square) area of Glendale, but we actually have a horse and trailer parked up on La Tuna Canyon Road, which is very close to you, right?

Welcome to the forum and maybe we'll meet at one of the local get togethers!
