New to a great site! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

dashadow · 10-28-2002, 02:20 AM

This is hands down THE best site for GM trucks on the net! No one else comes close. I'll make this short. '71 GMC,250l,three on a tree,SWB,Med.green. Bought from neighbor who had owned it for 28 years. Not perfect but not too bad either. He just used it for squirrel hunting. Not sure what I'll do with it yet. Just getting ideas now. All you folks have some SUPER trucks! Great pics! More later.

dashadow · 10-28-2002, 09:27 PM

Thanks to everyone for the welcome! I have a lot of work to do to catch up to imaindianoutlaw's truck. VERY sharp ride indeed,as are all the others on here. I'll try to get some pics soon. Spent film money on soap,white polishing compound,wax and lots of rags. You folks know that song I bet. Anyway,thanks to everyone again and I hope in time I will able to help others out. One question if I may.....My truck has disk brakes w/o booster. How long did they go before adding vac.booster? This may sound stupid but I'm 44 years old and I've never seen disk brakes w/o a booster until this truck! Live and learn.
