How did you find this site?

I have always wondered how did you find this site. I found this site by accident when I was looking for a mid 50's truck via the internet.. By reading the various forums I became more aware of the 67-72 trucks. Thus I ended up purchasing a 1970 BB402 C10

Re: How did you find this site?

About 10 years ago I lost an eBay auction on some OEM exhaust manifolds and OEM air cleaner for my truck at the time. I emailed the guy and asked if he had any more OEM parts. He said no, but sent me a link and turned me on to this board.

Re: How did you find this site?

Google search.

I figured a forum was the best way for me to learn about fixing my truck.

Re: How did you find this site?

Well back in the 90's (that's 1990's for you youngsters) there where two site when you searched Altavista or whatever existed before Google. LOL

Both sites were thread based but Josh's layout seemed more logical. Thus, I stuck around. I remember when he announced we'd be changing over to Vbullitin and everyone was concerned. Crazy to recall.

I'm with you. I probably found it looking for parts on Altavista but it was so long ago I no longer remember.

Remember those days before Google, before Al Gore invented the internet? One would go to altavista, type in what you wanted then add "and not sex and not resume". You could also type in something like double-u-double-u-double-u.carparts.com and get to a website selling car parts and not a bunch of pictures of naked ladies. But sadly, like affordable health care those days are long gone.

Re: How did you find this site?

I bought my first truck in August 2001 and signed on here in November 2003. Honestly I don't remember how I found the site but probably surfing the net for 1972 Chev truck info. I will be a member here until there is RIP under my name or Josh and Liz sell the site to someone that changes everything.

Re: How did you find this site?

I belonged to a Corvette Forum for many years, so when I bought my truck I figured there must be a forum out there. I found a couple, but this one by far is the best.

Re: How did you find this site?

Searching for parts and this was the first thing to pop up with a classified listing.

Re: How did you find this site?

I guess I first got on the computer looking up websites I saw in Hemmings Motor News listings to look for trucks and parts. I saw these things called "Links", clicked on them, and started finding my way around the internet. I think this was a link on www.vintagechevytrucks.com or www.fillingstation.com . I kept looking more and more, then finally signed-up to answer an unanswered question

Re: How did you find this site?

I have been and still am on a similar forum for Toyota Land Cruisers(ih8mud) as I have restored several FJ40s. Got the urge to get back to my roots. My first new truck was a 68 Chevy and that body style always turned my head. I saw this 69CST 10 and I just had to have it. Went on google and typed in 67-72 Chevy forum and this sight popped up. My gain.

You can't do a Google search without this url popping up somewhere, somehow.
