Back in the 70's & 80's I made my living as a mechanic. I worked on, and owned these trucks for years. In the late 80's, I "advanced" to heavy mechanics ( buses, trucks..the real ones..heavy machinery). I looked for a truck to rebuild for the last ten years!!! These trucks are in my blood. I finally bought my current 69 GMC last Sept. Over the winter, I looked around to find parts for it,and didn't come up with much...until I stumbled upon this board!!! I now have 90% of what I need to convert my GMC to a Chev....and it all came from people on this board!! Some I've had shipped to me....and a lot I picked up on parts runs to IN, MO, KS. I have no doubts that I would still be wondering where the heck I would find ANY of the stuff I now have if I hadn't found this board. Would I still have my truck, and be restoring it without this board...absolutely! Would I be in the position I'm now in to start the actual work, without this board....not in another ten years!! You guy's have my respect, and admiration for the way this board is run, and the integrity in which business is conducted.
