Anyone in the Wichita, KS area??????????? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bigo181979 · 02-05-2007, 02:58 PM

I was wondering if their was anyone around in my are with some expertise, so that I might be able to get some help if I need it, or anyone that just wants to help me along the way is of course welcome too.

CLASSIC87' · 02-05-2007, 03:29 PM

I'm here in Wichita... not for sure what you are needing- but I might be able to give you some help or advice on where to go.

Thanks,
Anthony

**Yukon Jack** · 02-05-2007, 04:08 PM

I'm in the area but sadly the only free time I get is after the kids go to bed and I run off to the shop to get some work done on my trucks. Happy to help with any advice though!

bigo181979 · 02-05-2007, 05:21 PM

Thanks guys, I am not sure what kinda help I will need yet either, I am just about to start my project and was trying to find some local guys that have experience, in case I need it.

Also if you need tires or wheels for your projects or anything let me know. My name is Orlando and I work at "The Tire Store Inc." on Broadway just let me know who you are and I will make you a really good deal

.
Thanks

I'll stop by sometime... would like to step up to some 20's. What's ol' Wes Grimes rolling in these days? I haven't been up there in awhile- we have probably met before!

Later,
Anthony

Wichita here. I can help but I'm starting a project of my own, 1972 c-10 picking her up tomorrow.

Could use some old tires to stick on her the ones she has go flat after a day(so I'm told)

bigo181979 · 02-05-2007, 06:33 PM

Cool let me know if you want some help. I love to work on this stuff.
Also let me know what size tire you need and I will either grab some stuff thats going to go in the trash and dosen't leak or get you some used ones for like 15-20 each.

Primer69er · 02-05-2007, 06:39 PM

im in hays, but from mcpherson. if i was in the area, could you find me a good deal on some 275/60/15's? used is good, but hard to come by but i would love to find some under $80/tire.

I have two brand new 275/60/15's that i'm not sure if I want to keep using. They're mounted on brand new wheels but never driven on.

I'm on the north end of town. There are several wichita members.

gregsplace · 02-05-2007, 08:03 PM

I live out west between Colwich and Andale. (about 10 miles west of Wichita) If you need some parts give me a email. I've been parting these years for almost 18 years. Or if you just need advise or have any questions about something email me also (greg_dagenais@yahoo.com) Greg

Greg,
I have a 69 chevy c10 pickup, 3-in-the-tree, inline six. I need a shift collar for it. Would you have any compatible. Thank you.

Greg

RicksTrucks · 02-05-2007, 11:37 PM

I am down here in Oklahoma, but only about 3 hours away if you need any parts that I may have.

terryks · 02-06-2007, 02:36 PM

I am new to the board. I am located near Derby. I recently picked up a 68 SWB I have some plans for. Much of the work has already been done on the truck. Amazingly enough, it's a truely rust free truck. No cutting has been done on it. Restoring to original. Here is a sneak peak:

Gotta get the rallies powder coated and the bed on.

More pics to come and a formal introduction.

bigo181979 · 02-06-2007, 03:00 PM

Looks good, who are you having do the powder coating??? If I can suggest someone take it to Lorac the do awsome work! They do all the custom stuff for us.
Also the truck looks good hope to see it around soon.

Taking the wheels to Lorac. I have heard from alot of satisfied customers.
You will be seeing it out plenty very soon.

**Yukon Jack** · 02-06-2007, 04:05 PM

I'll second the recommendation of Lorac - they do nice work. I had them power coat my fuel tank that sits on my flatbed.

Nice looking truck terryks. I drop my kids off to school in Derby each morning.

2nd_wnd · 02-06-2007, 05:39 PM

Hey fellow wichitians, a favor needed.

The trailer I was borrowing is out for me one tomorrow, seems it is being used to help out shipmans auto on south broadway since they had a fire last night.

Is there anybody willing to loan a guy a trailer for a day so I may be able to retrieve my 72 from Oklahoma?

You can reach me on my cell 519-4601.

Rick

Nevermind, found one
