HvyChevy454 · 10-30-2002, 01:13 AM

Did somebody leave a pile of cards at a show or soemthing?
How did all you new members find the board?

dashadow · 10-30-2002, 03:24 AM

Google. The best search engine there is. Hey,I found this site so it has to be.

gbkwork · 10-30-2002, 11:22 AM

Dittos on Google.

yellowgmc · 10-30-2002, 11:32 AM

yahoo, but i didn't join for a month. just scoped you guya and gals out before joining!!

dubie · 10-30-2002, 11:53 AM

I was searching for info on my 72 almost 3 years ago on MSN and came across this site. Been here ever since.

sixnine · 10-30-2002, 12:04 PM

I found the site through 'google.com'. I joined after searching and viewing sites for a couple of days. Saw a million sites. I only joined one. This one. The best, bar none!

Earl Junior · 10-30-2002, 12:06 PM

I caught a link from the truck forum over at Chevy Duty.

Dutch · 10-30-2002, 12:10 PM

...Found it in a Yahoo! search after bringing my 72 home and looking for parts sources by entering "67-72 chevy" in the search engine....

Sure glad I did. I probably lurk more than I post, but it's a constant source of good advice and a yuk or two.... :-D

ckhd · 10-30-2002, 01:07 PM

I don't have the best memory, but I think I found it through AltaVista.

**68 Stepside** · 10-30-2002, 02:10 PM

I found it through askjeeves, I think...it's been quite a while. And I leave flyers on 67-72's at shows, when I can.

I found you guys through the Classic Heartbeat forum. I do more lurking than posting myself, but I throw out two cents on occasions.

With the help of these two boards, I've gotten my recently purchased '72 Cheyenne on the road and in a reliable condition. Not yet a daily driver, but not too far away!

Thanks for a great site,
Kent

No3Fan4Ever · 10-30-2002, 10:16 PM

I believe I found this site thru a link at stovebolt.com or classicpickups.com; don't remember for sure, but glad that I found it

NuBomb · 10-30-2002, 10:54 PM

I found this site from a link on Colorado K5. There is no other site that even compares to this one.

gashog · 10-30-2002, 11:46 PM

Found the resource page a while back but it took me a year to click on the message board link. but I've got it dialed in now and its by far the best there is!

gmcnorton · 10-31-2002, 09:17 AM

found you guys throught sheer luck, just types in looking for parts for my 70 gmc on msn and this was at the top of the list. best find yet on web.

**passthebuck** · 10-31-2002, 10:40 AM

i found this site through hotbot years ago-i followed along & joined when i got a '67 GMC. It's still the best site!

moneyguru · 10-31-2002, 04:19 PM

I found this site through Google.....right after buying my 67 GMC longstep.

lpaine · 10-31-2002, 05:27 PM

Found it on google- let's face it, there's a whole lot of us out there, so it's no wonder so many new members. Gotta love these trucks!

into1000101 · 10-31-2002, 06:22 PM

I have been an active member on the Corvette Forum for a few years. I am now trading my 86 Corvette for a 71 blazer on Friday...

For the years on the corvette forum, I met some cool people and did some awesome events. These forums are an amazing way for folks to get together for sure.

I have been a member for maybe 3 days now.

I previously had a 1982 GMC High Sierra, 7" Suspension lift (Springs and custom shackles), 3" body lift, 18/39x15 Mickey T's on 15x14" Alcoas, triple/double bar w/ 16 lights etc. I completely built the truck up by myself. I have a decent amount of knowledge on what works and what doesn't on the Chevy front/rear leaf spring era 4x's. I hope I can learn a lot from everyone and help out as well!

I'm guessing by the fact that you're going for a '71 Blazer that your username is not related to year model?

Over_My_Head · 10-31-2002, 08:31 PM

It is all Longhornmail's fault

At least in my case. I asked a question on a board for tractor guys that also had a truck page and Longhornmail (Andy to me then) told me about this site. (I am not sure if he answered my question or not)

Anyway, I came here and thought I would ask a couple of questions and BAM I'm hooked.

And thanks Andy.
