Met a member and got to check out a pretty nice Longhorn too - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well it turns out I work with a fellow member and didn't even know it. Some of you know him i'm sure, MTDAVE2. Basically he has the nicest Longhorn you could possibly have. He drove it to work today after he realized I was also into the 67-72 trucks cuz I had my 71 K5 at work the other day.

All I can say is wow, it is a really clean, completely original truck.

Critter · 11-03-2007, 05:13 PM

Well...what did he think of your Blazer?

Jtrux · 11-03-2007, 05:13 PM

He just pointed and laughed...

That's nuts! How long have you 2 worked together?
I've never met dave, but I'd like to. he's on the short list of cool cats from the board i wanna meet.

Well we both work at the railroad, I don't know how long Dave has been working there but i've been there about three months so that's how long it's been. Drive on down and check out his truck, definitely worth the drive.

I only made it to San Antonio once, and drove through without stopping 2 more times while I was stationed at Fort hood. I think San Antonio, and Austin, are the only 2places in Texas I'd like to visit one day.
Well, that and any old junk yard in the western part of the state.

I hear he has a never-rust tool & stowage compartment door on that truck.I`d like to meet Dave,too.Looks like he has seniority over you.

Brad · 11-04-2007, 01:21 PM

It's a small world.
Dave's a good guy. I think he was the first member I met too.
