Thanks for the compliments on my truck. Its good to know that we all can relate and appreciate the sweat and hard work we put into our rides. |
Re: SoCal checkin' in
I keep meaning to ask... I saw a '67-72 (didn't see the front) heading up Main saturday afternoon. It was either dark grey or faded black primer with what I can only describe as a Super Bee stripe in red around the rear bed sides. Is that a members truck? I though it was super cool.
Also saw a really sweet blue square body heading up Main after the show. |
Re: SoCal checkin' in
Just saw a really sharp looking 69 or 70 at my ortho doc's office. White short box with a little lift. Anyone from the site?

Re: SoCal checkin' in
I did see that gray GMC truck .. He pulled into the parking lot just as the show with finishing up and I ran into it again on Main St. on my obligatory Drive-by
while headed home to the LBC.:cool: Sometimes I think people get the impression that I either own this website or have stock in it the way I go on and on about it :blah: |

speaking of...I gotta post up some new pics, its been awhile and alot has changed on her. I'd like to see how everyone else's rides are looking these days also. Post up a recent pic of your ride, and also post what your working on or what your going to do next on it. |
Re: SoCal checkin' in
Also...in the spirit of Christmas, and I'm always willing to help my fellow board members, I'm going to put together a list of a few parts which I have that I'm not using, that I was going to sell, but if you need it, I will give it to you free as a christmas gift from me and the shop. Only condition is that you actually use it. Please don't accept parts from me, then put them for sale on craigslist. (has happened before) :whine:

Re: SoCal checkin' in
hey all, just joined this forum a few days go, and so far Ive gotten lots of great info! Heres a few pics of my 63 c20......
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...r/7fd9f671.jpg http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...r/4e0387dc.jpg I cant wait to start tearing into this one, but have another project on the pipeline... Id love to drive it though. right now it has a ****ty universal floor shifter and its soo sloppy i have no idea what gear im in.. drove it from torrance in what I believe is second gear. Anyone know what I can to to fix the linkages? or any better shift kits? Im a novice with engines and trannies, since im more of a bodywork guy... Anyone near or around the San Fernando Valley? |
Re: SoCal checkin' in
Oh and if anyone needs a bed I have the two sides and the front portion (no tailgate) laying around.... so let me know! Theyre in so so shape will need some rust fixing, but are pretty straight and solid.. perfect if youre slamming the truck and cutting the wheelwells....

First let me welcome you to the SoCal Checkin page. There are people from all over on this post. And yes there are some out in the SFV. Nice truck it looks very straight. Now with you being a bodywork guy im sure theres a engine and trans guy here that will barter with you. LOL You might just need a linkage kit to tighten up your gear shifter. |
Re: SoCal checkin' in
Been lurking on this page for a while but haven't posted much. It seems that most of the So Cal members are from LA area. I missed the last meet up around thanksgiving, it was just too far for 10 mpg, but was contemplating it. Who all is around the San Diego area? Would love to have a meet up down here sometime. Do you guys ever go to the El Cajon or La Mesa street fairs?

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Do you know what stock trannies came with these cars? Or what the oil pans are supposed to be like? I found a link on identifiying the 305, but no luck on tranny id's.
