Hello Everyone, Newbie Here
Hello everyone. My name is John, and I am from Noble, OK. I just joined the board a few days ago, and am finding lots of info, and of course AWESOME pics. I am currently on the search for a 73-87 SWB. I used to have a 84 Chevy SWB when I was in high school, and sold it due to family obligations. Well fast forward a few years later, ok several years later!
 I currently have a 92 RS Camaro Heritage Edition. So it's up for sale, and the proceeds are going straight to a truck!  So now that I have talked long enough I just wanted to introduce myself, and look forward to having a truck in the near future to share with you guys. |

Re: Hello Everyone, Newbie Here
Welcome John from Tx. The square body bug is is a bad bug . I was bit by it in the late 80's when my dad picked up a 77 shorty . Later it was mine . I think I have had at least one Square since that time . I hope you find a nice one . Remember to pay a little more for a nice truck/project to begin with , It will pay off in money and time saved .
Good luck ! Frank

Re: Hello Everyone, Newbie Here
Welcome John, get the truck soon...they are only getting more expensive.
Are you looking for a fleetside or stepside? I assume you are after a C10 as well?

Re: Hello Everyone, Newbie Here
Wow I am so psyched from all the great welcomes from you guys. I am a member on a couple other forums, and no out pour of welcome like I have seen here. Thanks!
Yeah until I sell my 92 Camaro I can't get a truck, however that hasn't stopped me from looking. I've found a few good ones, and a lot of rough ones. fmonroe: That is something I learned from my Camaro venture. Spend more on a good one, and save money over the long run. PreRunner: I have looked at the thread for the OKC guys a couple of times, but haven't posted in there yet. Was considering maybe making it out to Thunderbird for the meet. I'm just a few miles from there. Again thanks guys for all the welcomes and help for the trucks. I have looked at the for sale ads on here, but don't want to start getting hopes up until I have the funds. Then LOOK OUT!!!!!
