Hey Tim,

I came home today from and 5 day trip to the lake pulling my boat with the 71 GMC and my Wife driving the 73 Motorhome and your package was on my doorstep.

THANK YOU!

Dan

**fine69** · 06-29-2009, 10:27 PM

Very cool picture.

**special-K** · 06-30-2009, 06:02 AM

Hey Dan,tell the whole story about what it was and why you wanted it.It`s all about camping.That`s cool you just got back from that very activity.I love the`73,BTW.

hilandr452 · 06-30-2009, 07:48 AM

OK,

Here's the story. I traded for a 71 GMC "Longhorn" Custom Camper, which has been my dream truck since I was a kid. My dad had a 70 GMC Custom Camper with an El Dorado Camper on it from the factory. I started a thread asking for pictures of peoples trucks with campers, specifically El Dorado Campers, and Longhorn trucks with campers on them.

Special-K sent me a PM saying he'd like my address to send me an old El Dorado pamphlet, complete with price list from 1971!! It has a picture of a 71 chevy on the cover with a huge slide-in on it. I went camping this weekend with my "NEW" 73 Chevy/Mitchell Motorhome Camper Special and when I got back last night, my package from Special-K was here. This is really cool and will soon be framed in my living room.

Here's a link to the thread in the 73-87 forums with pics of the motorhome I stole this winter.

Thank you again Tim, you sent this out to me barely knowing me and that sort of coolness is rare these days.

Oh ok,

I didn't miss that one. I just had to replace my keyboard from the drooling....

There's one similar to that one here in my neighborhood except it's a red 1970 GMC. I'm going to see if the owner will let me take some pics here real soon.

Jamie... i was getting ready to say the EXACT same thing!

My hat is off to tim.

**special-K** · 07-03-2009, 11:11 AM

MEXICAN FOOD? What`s that place in Canon City that seres the great food?I`ve been there and everything i heard was true.I didn`t eat everything,but my whole family loved what they got.Just can`t recall the name.Maybe a woman`s name?Have any idea what I`m talkin`about?

I`d be out there in a heartbeat if I knew a job was there.I could live in a camper.

(gall dern no good transient easterners coming`round here like it`s the dang garden of eden some kinda cornicopia land`o`plenty stealin`what little work there is left for us between those darn Uruguayans and Eskimos and farmin`work out over to Fiji and whatnot...)

HEY JAMIE!!!...you`re alright,too,no matter what Justin says about you.

hilandr452 · 07-04-2009, 12:26 PM

Are you talkin' about The Mission? I hear they have the best Mexican food down there. My in-laws live in Canon City. That's what they say anyway.

Dan

**special-K** · 07-05-2009, 08:16 PM

Darn,that reminds me.It`s already the 5th and I haven`t sent you two your monthly "post nice things about Tim" payments.

BTW,"I" care what everybody says.I`m keeping a list and you`ll be getting a visit from me when you least expect it.

Longhorn Man · 07-05-2009, 10:04 PM

just knock if I am in the bathroom please.

I guess you`d have your hat off then,too?In better times I you would have seen me out in Columbus by now.it`s not like the thought hasn`t passed my mind.But,I`m talking about paying each person who says bad things about me.They better have eyes in the back of their heads.
