Hi all!
My name is Michael, but everybody calls me Hardrock.
I'm 42, never married, no kids, but have a wonderful
girl friend of 4 years, and a Black Lab that answers to
"Cheyenne".
I've lived in central Illinois all my life.
I'm a life long car/truck ADDICT!
I've worked as a self-employed mechanic off and on for years, owned a GM salvage yard for a while, tried my hand at being an owner/operator, etc. But I now own a 180 acre farm near the lake.
My "ADDICTION" started so early on, I don't ever remember NOT
being in love with these machines!
(It might have been learning to drive in my mom's '68 C-10 50TH Anniversary truck!!) I have but one old photograph of this truck, and as of yet, no way to scan it!
I have owned, built, bought, sold, parted, traded, (mangled!!??)etc. over 200 of these trucks in the last 10 years! I can never get enough of them, and I'm ALWAYS looking for more!
After a 4 year hiatus to go do the O/O trucking thing, I'm back to my first love........67-72 Chevy-GMC trucks!!
I'm planning on restoring the old farmhouse back to "period" correct, and doing two more "keeper" trucks to round out the "ranch"!
Wanting to custom build a '71 or '72 C-20 Crew Cab with a 6.5 TD
and my long time dream.........a '69 COPO clone "PACE TRUCK"!
Dover white/Orange houndstooth buckets, BB, etc. LOADED!!
I'm just looking for the "RIGHT" candidates!
So glad I found this site! Great bunch of fellow truck lovers!
Mike
