This Board rocks

I know it has been said...but

This is the best board on the planet. There are a number of folks who know a lot about these trucks and more.

From Day 1 I have been amazed at the corporate knowledge about these trucks on here.

With that being said...I have not seen one cross word from anyone. It could have been said "Why don't you search for it and not bother us with the simple stuff"...or some other not so kind comment.

I do not think a board exists out there that is as friendly as this one.

I wish we could all meet at Kevin's (LFD) and pull up a stool, have a soda, eat some snacks...watch Kevin weld and grind all the time have a great time.

We could get out to Longhornman's in Columbus and eat dome DiCarlo's Pizza and sit around and be amazed at the vast amount of data in his head.

I know I am forgetting friendly folks like cdowns, pritch, and heck I cannot even recall all the names.

Go ahead and pat yourselves on the back.

You guys are the best.

Re: This Board rocks

This board is awesome! Some of the 350Z boards I frequent are full of posts that are nothing but people shouting at you to "use the search function" and calling you a"noob". Most of these guys are more concerned with their post count than helping out a fellow enthusiast. I have learned a lot from this board and met a lot of nice people! I'm also a member of a Farmall Cub board where aboout half the guys are concerned with wether or not you have the correct type cotter keys and grease for your restoration . They refer to themselves as the resto police.

Re: This Board rocks

I was introduced to this terrific site by Lamar (who I "met" thru an ebay parts-purchase from him).

Everybody's been GREAT, despite a few stupid questions from me.

I lurk everyday I can, and have learned more in a few months than I would have in years searching for answers on my own.

Still have nothing but a "plain-Jane" driver, but it's slowly getting better than it was when I started my journey.

Re: This Board rocks

I love it here! None of my friends/family understand my love affair with mine, or any beautifully done 67-72, but everyone here does, and the way that you are greeted when you get up enough nerve to do your first post, so many people jump in & say Hi! & Welcome from all over the united states & even from other countries, it's truly amazing. I am very thankful for all the wonderful people here that make this site so great, and all the knowledge that is shared about our trucks, thanks everyone!

Re: This Board rocks

A great place for all. From the guy that hopes someday to have a $100 Chevy to the guys that have thousands in their Chevy trucks we have them all. Hoping to meet a few more members at the board meeting in July in Mo.

Re: This Board rocks

Besides all the help you get on this board the amazing thing is how fast you will get an answer. I have always loved the "what is this" thread where a pic is posted & within about 2 minutes you have answers. Why can't the whole world run as good as this place?

Re: This Board rocks

I agree, most of the time I am just learning, but there are times I have the right answer, and even when I have been wrong, or just mistaken, the rebuke is respectful, thanks for such a great site and for putting up with those of us who are novice and ask the same dumb questions.

I was the guy who hoped to have a chevy... now Im the guy that just wants to work on it.

Im glad that there is no ego-tripping fools ( ) on here, that just yell for the search button. Ive learned a good amount from here. Before buying my CST/10, I had spent a few months researching about '98 Jimmys, since I was gonna buy the one from my parents. Little be known Id go but classic Chevy I had only dreamed to own.

Its crazy too, because I was drawing a '67 C10 a few months ago, and now that I actualy own a '69, its crazy good!



I was lookin at a pic of a 'burb with the '67 nose from Truckin', and free handed the bed. So the body line is off, that was before I had seen one good in person.

Re: This Board rocks

ive seen stuff on other forums through a friend and they are nothing compared to the great guys on here, new member or a veteran you get treated the same as long as you follow the rules and even if you dont you still get treated nicely and get it pointed out to you and not just yelled at

Re: This Board rocks

What a buncha jerks!Why don`t you just have a group hug,for cryin`out loud?Let`s just start a "This Site Rocks" section for all this mushy stuff.
As far as helpful,give me a break.If I listened to all this hot air on here I`d be lucky my truck even ran,I`d have spent twice what I needed,and ended up with bubble gum for firewall grommets,zip-ties holdin`my radiator in,duct tape for rocker panels,and baling twine connecting my two wipers.
