Just Found You Guys
Hello everyone. I just found this place and am pretty glad to be able to participate here in the future. I just bought two trucks this year a 1970 C-20 and a 1976 GMC Crew cab. The 1970 will be a Father -Son Project and I hope to use the crew cab as a daily summer driver-work truck. I am in Arkansas at the moment (and yes finding some good junk yard parts) but will get some pics when I get home to Wisconsin next week.

Re: Just Found You Guys
Was in Mountain Home just a few weeks ago. Greers Ferry Lake is south of where you are (at Heber Springs) but has some of the best Walleye fishing in the U.S. But, Bull Shoals is nice, too.

Re: Just Found You Guys
I will get some pics when I get back home. I have some ideas on what I want to accomplish with my trucks and I am sure all of you will have some wonderful ideas and tips. I haven't found much junkin so far. I did get a nice hood for my 76 and some good 72 suburban parts. Will try to do some more exploring tomorrow. Yard in Gassville sounds intriguing...Jay
