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

**swervin ervin** · 12-24-2002, 06:43 PM

After just now replying to a post by Captkaos, I noticed his registered date is the same as mine. This started me thinking, I know it's dangerous, but.....

If I remember correctly, this is the place I first met Chris. Am I right Capt? I think we have developed a pretty good far away friendship. Have met several times at truck shows at Pigeon Forge, TN.

Funny how we all meet online and many of us make some good friends from it. My only wish is that I lived much closer to you Chris.

For any who don't personally know him, he is one fine stand up guy. Here's to 3 years of friendship.

Sorry for being mushy, but it is the time of year for it, right?

low 84 · 12-24-2002, 06:51 PM

i have yet to meet a person from one of the boards who wasn't a stand up guy and willing to help. 79big10, 67_ss396, smokie55, txtruck, bigred, 70schevys, 67gmc, lohrtbt, ocbaud, arvetek, brad2, 82blackbeast, prerunner1982, 5/8 chevy, and i could keep going and going. its hard to believe such a good bunch of guys all ended up in the same place

arveetek · 12-24-2002, 07:19 PM

Amen to you both!

Merry Christmas!

Prerunner1982 · 12-24-2002, 07:20 PM

i agree as well, though i havent met as many members as i would like.. but those i have met have been outstanding!

**swervin ervin** · 12-24-2002, 07:32 PM

I wish I could meet each and every one of you. I have only met three or four guys from the net. It just struck me where and when Chris and I met online when I noticed his registered date.

Ryan,

I fully agree with everything you said. This just proves that everyone is not out to get you, as the news would have us believe.

I wish there were more people who lived closer to me. Must be because NC is still full of non interneters. Is that a word? Maybe they will catch on and get with the game someday.

doc70sub · 12-24-2002, 11:32 PM

Nice ride, maybe I'll get a chance to check it out in person sometime in the future being that I'm a fellow NC'er as well!

Doc

**swervin ervin** · 12-25-2002, 01:20 AM

Hey Doc. You're not too far away from me. Maybe some day, who knows. I have chatted with a few from NC, but most are clear across the state, on the east coast.

**old Rusty C10** · 12-25-2002, 03:30 PM

i totally agree the people on this forum are really great. Ive only met one of y'all personally(75 stepside) but everyone ive met through talking to each other on the posts or in the chat has really ben fabulous and has helped me immensely and everyone says how its a great bunch of guys, but in general discussion ive met many wonderful ladies too. Im really glad that there is this forum for us all to get together and talk about trucks and other things. heres to all of us having a great christmas and ahealthy happy new year!

1974ChevyC10 · 12-26-2002, 12:04 AM

ive met tom-bored&stroked from CT and he is a good guy.i talk to 79BIG10 every now and then online he is a good guy too.i also talk to heather-chevychic every so often and she is a good person too

67_SS396 · 12-26-2002, 02:57 AM

It's that time of year to be mushy and let those around you know you care about them.

I have met a number of great people on CT, here and other places that I'm happy to call my friends. Most of them, the other Ryan named. If it wasn't for CT and here, Southern Bowties would not exist, which is full of nothing but great people.

I met Brandon, when I saw he was in need of help with his carb on his ZZ4 and realized he only lived 5 minutes away which led me to making friends with Will, Smokie 55. We became buds, right away. Then, I offered to help Ryan with his cam swap, now 6 months later, we are doing a head swap.

It's hard to belive, but there are still good people like us out there. Sometimes, you just have to do a search!

PHOENIX · 12-26-2002, 01:07 PM

I also met Tom (bored&stroked) hes a cool guy, even gave me an ANTI sway bar. I think that more people in the Phoenix area should get together.

BigRed · 12-26-2002, 11:28 PM

Hey, I gotta chime-in here too! I've met nothing but stand-up guys here. Several of them have been very generous to me with their time, patience, and parts.

I hope I can be as helpful to anyone else here.

Ok, now lets all grunt a couple times and scratch our butts and we'll feel like men again.

J-Spec C10 · 12-27-2002, 12:20 AM

OK, so I probibly won't be meeting anyone from the board in the near future, But I would at least like to add one thing, whenever I'm stuck, you guys all seem to offer a solution. I appreciate it.

Thanks!

bigd65 · 12-27-2002, 09:06 AM

well i have met 79big10 and smokie55 and there is another guy i had met when i met them, i cant remember his name but he designed this thing you attach to your valve train that actually works like the V-TECH foreign engines, where it changes the rocker arm ratios. they all were nice guys. there are several other's i would like to meet-GCHEMIST, i wanna check out that 305 in bad bow. swervin ervin , capt kaos, well hell how about one G R E A T B I G meet where we all can meet everyone, wouldnt hat be great

Big Paul · 12-27-2002, 04:10 PM

Too bad I live in CA. But I met 2 '60-'66 guys from....shhhh....you know where.

79BIG10 · 12-29-2002, 12:56 AM

I've met a bunch of people here as you can tell and been a great meeting every time. Lots of friendships made as well as each other helping the other with something or sharing parts. Too bad more of you don't live in Texas

gchemist · 12-30-2002, 10:01 PM
