New from CT - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Old Chevy Mech · 10-12-2007, 02:11 PM

Hello,
New in the forum, wish I had known about it before! Looks like a great place and I hope that I can be of some assistance at some point.
My experience with the 69-72 series is my 1970 Chevy 4X4 Blazer. I bought her used in 1986 and have driven it every day with a 3 year exception when I was stationed in Hawaii. The only parts I havent done myself are the tire mounting on the rims & the exhaust systems.

Not my favorite areas to work on so I pay to have them done. I love turning wrenches so when my trucks are all set, I start rebuilding something on my 1952 CAT D-2, 1928 CLETRAC, or 1928 International I-14. I'm not a big "blinger", I focus on original, or a tech improvement that'll make 'em last longer.

So thanks for having such a great place to gather & exchange info!

Frank
