New from Louisiana
Well I have stopped in from time to time to drool over some of the projects on this board. I figured I would join in the fun and let everyone know a little about me. I have a 1969 swb that I have had since I was 15. I drove it though high school and when I got out I decided I would redo/restore a few things on it so that I could have a good truck when I got out of school in a few years. It took me about 2 years to get it pretty well restored cutting only a few corners along the way while going to school. I had it on the road for 3 months and was turning left on a 2 lane hwy. when a lady in a suburban decided she didn't need to slow down and went ahead and tried to pass me (unsuccessfully). I never got around to completely fixing it (19=2years=21 and bars
 ) just a part here and there. I am really close to getting it road worthy but farther than I want to from were it was. I hope to run into some guys from Louisiana that would be willing to give up some parts like a grill assembly. Anyhow, I look forward to getting to know a few people who share the same interests in these trucks.

Re: New from Louisiana
 Nice truck Riche! There's at least 30 Louisiana people here, but some of 'em don't post much. If I can help with anything let me know, and if you are in southwest La. and need parts, STP67-72(Steve) in Beaumont, Tx. has alot of stuff new and used.
