Update - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

GOPAPA · Yesterday, 12:58 PM

I have come and gone on this site a few times ,,as some of you know ,,,I still get on ever so often and just look and read posts , I am not dying ,,just slowing down quite a bit from all the things I used to do , Maybe some of you can relate..as there are a few of you still on here at the 80 years old age that I have become .
What brought this posting on was from couple days ago here in Nampa Idaho where the sun has come out full and here I am in the house and not taking my truck out for a spin like I used to at least once a week or more.
Even thought about selling my truck ,,but then I wouldnt have a second vehicle in case I needed one,, and I still once in awhile think of something to add to it that I feel like it needed it.. The last thing I did was wire up my battery with a kill switch and its controlled by a remote on my key chain,, I have always unhooked my battery after driving it,,not sure why exactly ,,just habit I guess..
So , that's about it for a update if any of you were wondering like me when I miss one of you I havent seen for awhile..

Thanks for the update. So many have disappeared over the years without a trace...

Glad that you are Keeping that truck.

Good to hear from you, Larry. I'm kinda in the same boat, truck just sits and hasn't been driven in awhile..... even considered selling it but same as you, I'd be without a backup rig.

Its always good to hear from you. Those of us that have been on the board for a good while are what I think of as actual friends and would probably get along well in real life. Ive met quite a few people in person from the board and that was almost always the vibe.

This message board has changed a lot over the years, as most message boards with this format. Sites like Facebook and Instagram have sort of ravaged message boards with the look at me attitude vs a more of an us as a group attitude for message boards. Yes I know its not 100 percent like that on either. I still visit this site every day, but I dont log in nearly like I used to.

Go out and get ice cream, or something, once a week in your truck Larry. Please don't become a hermit. That's really bad for you.

Hello Larry, it’s good to see you post.
I agree with CG and couldn’t have said it better.
I’m glad that you still think about taking the truck out for a spin even if it’s not as frequent as it used to be.
I’m thinking you know you have plenty of like minded friends here.
Today is a good day.
