One more time - How did you find this site...

[70cst]

I was actually looking for a mid-50 1/2 ton Chevy truck and by accident in a web search I found this site - the rest is history

[custom10nut]

I was looking for a source of parts, since at the time, the number of trucks in the yards was starting to deminish. That was back in 1997

[ck5566]

This site was given to me from a now past member when he sold his truck to me. That's it in a nut shell.

My Avatar is a wheel and a lug nut. You know like SWB nut or C10 nut and the nuts go on & on.

My picture Avatar explained is "Wheel Nut"

I think I was searching for truck parts in High School using "yahoo search" and came upon the site in 1999. The forum/site looked NOTHING like it does now. I started lurking around 2002-ish but didn't join until 2004. This was the first "forum" I ever joined.

I was using google for random information on these trucks and realized 99% of my answers were from this site so I joined up and have been learning more than I could ever remember since.

This is my answer- more info than any manual or magazine and the members are so very helpful with problems especially with new builds.

This is what happened with me, too. When I bought my 69 Chevy truck, it was not running and had not run in years. So the first thing to do was research what it takes to fix all the various things to get the truck running. When googling how to fix stuff, it all leads back to here.

[Shortnwide4x4]

Joined the site after googling these trucks. Became a member and read almost daily. Rarely ever post

[EdSevered]

I needed money to start fixing up my '71, was digging around in the couch cushions and instead came across this forum.

I was in Afghanistan, looking for a place where I could purchase a '67 GMC 3/4lwb. Found this site using a google search. During my tour there, I searched around and actually found a decent '69 C-10 lwb with a 396BB that a member had for sale at a fair price. When I returned from my tour, I met up with the member who didn't live far away and closed the deal.

Still wish I could find a nice '67 3/4t GMC, but the '69 is filling the void for the time being. Maybe when the "right" '67 shows up, I will sell to '69 to provide the funds for the '67 purchase.

Had a 64 el Camino and saw a cool 66 c10 I had to have. Started researching thru Google and fell across the sight. Found out how awesome the c10 folks are. Grew up in the vw scene which the people are very similar. Just love their vehicles and willing to help others. Now moved over to this group with my 69.

Google is you're friend. When I bought my truck in 2010 I was looking for anything I could find and what a find it's been!

[steelhorse]

Google. I was looking for parts for my truck.

[RonG]

Was crusing for information on '68 through '72 C10's and stumbled on this web site by complete accident. July '15 bought a '69 C10 swb Stepside and the rest is history.

[BILT4ME]

I Googled for sites about the 67-72 GM trucks. I looked through 4-5 sites to compare which ones seemed to have the most and best activity, so I joined this one.

We just picked up a 70 GMC K20 to work on and make a DD.

I also follow another truck thread for another make, so I wanted to find one comparable.

[cypressbog]

Jan 2003 I was looking for info on a 71 GMC I bought. Occasionally lurked until I joined in 2005.

[Stuntmonkey]

Was looking for info on the best replacement rockers and a guide to replacing them.....never did find those hahah.

[Sicklajoie]

Google
70cst, what's the status on the repairs with your truck??

[FirstOwner69]

My friend Mr. Google. When I was about to start the restoration of my 69, I searched for something like 1967- 1972 Chevy truck forum. This site popped up 1st. I didn't look any further.

[Already Gone]

I bought my first truck in 2001. Used it a bit then and due too some personal problems when I parked it in the fall of 2001 I didn't use it again until the summer 0f 2003.. I don't remember exactly how I found this site but it was probably through a search. To register on the site I had to have a name and I was listening to the Eagles song Already Gone as i was reading that so hence my 67-72 name Already Gone. Checking out the site is a daily thing for me and I hope the site format and values never change.

[GR8-68]

I was searching the web for parts and this was like the second or third thing listed. Popped in loved the info I was reading and signed up been here every since.

Good question !

... it's April in the year 2000 AD, the world was supposed to have ended more than 4 months ago ... yet to my amazement my computer still works and I see the sun has risen once again !
ohhh what a glorious thing it is to still be alive !

I type in "1971 GMC" into the subject line on "Altavista" (my search engine of choice) and much to my delight my lightning-fast state-of-the-art 56k dial-up modem sends me a list of topics matching my query after waiting only a minute or two ...

And the rest, as they say, is history !
