Welcome Chief.
My son just retired from the Navy after putting in 20. Me, I was on the other side of the fence in bootcamp. Will not say "the better side, just the other side". ![]() Glad to have you and your beautiful truck as part of the group.

Re: New guy from San Diego
Hello John!
Welcome to the club from San Diego. Just moved here from the east coast. When I get my '69 here from Phoenix in the next month or so we will have to meet up. Great looking truck you have there.
