New member in Iraq!!!
Hello everyone, my name is Joe and I am currently in Iraq. I joined this forum cause I really want to get a 1968 Chevy short bed. Ive always loved the way these trucks look and have seen some REALLY nice trucks on here. As soon as I get back to the states I will begin my search for one. I will be looking in Texas. Mainly around San Antonio cause that is where Im from, but seeing how I really want this truck I am also willing to travel to get it. Ive already learned some kool stuff and seen some really awesome resto's and some really awesome custom jobs. I look forward to learning more and more on here, and all the help I can get I would greatly appreciate. So does anyone know of a truck for sale in San Antonio area???

Re: New member in Iraq!!!
Welcome to the site! When are you looking at being back in the States?
Thank you and your fellow Marines for your service! ...and when you get back to the states, keep an eye on our classified section....there are quite a few trucks in the 'trucks for sale' area
