Finally Hit 1000

Well I have been avoiding making any posts for the last few weeks because I knew my count was at 999. I wanted to say something meaningful but couldn't come up with anything so here is a bit about me and what I have been up to (Basically some meaningless chatter ).

I joined the board in August of 2006 shortly after I bought my '70 SWB. I finished rebuilding it in September of 2008 and, have to say, I am happy with what I turned out being my first build of this magnitude. My color choice a much bolder version of the factory green metallic and I must have chosen well because many board members have requested the color code and there is at least one finished truck here that sports the same color (bad6772's Sweat Pea). The truck has been a lot of fun for the last few years and this past winter I finally got around to putting the "finishing touches" on the interior.

I have a few other projects currently on the go... I am just in the process of finishing up my '68 LWB in bright orange with all the 67-68 lower trim. I also have a '70 Chevelle with a 468 BB, nitrous and a bunch of other goodies that I like to get up to the track every now and then. And, last but not least, my '70 GMC C20 which I bought from a fellow board member. It is a rust-free big block A/C truck which is my daily driver at the moment and soon to be my next project.

It has been a great 4 years on the board and, I have said it before and will again, I have come into contact with some of the most honest, helpful and genuine folks here and am proud to be a part of this community.

Re: Finally Hit 1000

Congrats on 1000. Love your green truck, the blacked out inner grill looks great. Never really seen one where I liked that look before.

You need to bring your truck down here to some of the get togethers we have...swap meets, XXX drive inn .... etc

Re: Finally Hit 1000

Your thread caught my eye cause I'm closing in on 1000 myself and your trucks green too. Can you give me some info on your lift? Model number? and in full height what is the clearance you have? I need one soon but my truck is stock height and I need 69"-70" for my truck, Thanks

I usually make it to the Spokane GoodGuys event and am planning on it again this year. We used to hit the Vintiques show in Yakima as well but haven't been for a few years. If you happen to make it to Spokane this year, keep a look out for my truck.

My lift is manufactured in Canada (believe it or not). They have a distributor in Vancouver which is a fairly major port so I can't see why they wouldn't ship to the US (and you get a deal on our dollar too). I paid about $3600 including taxes and shipping which I thought was a pretty good deal. It is the Pro King XXL which has extra clearance between the posts (99") as well as under the ramps (81"). Here is a link to their website. http://liftking.ca/index.php?page=pro-king-8-xxl

Thanks again to everyone for their compliments. It's been a bit of a busy time in our household lately but I will post some more info on the '68 when I have a chance.
