Wow! I can’t believe it. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**LockDoc** · 10-12-2016, 07:09 AM

15,000 posts….

I wanted to use it to thank everyone on the board for their contributions and friendship. It has been a great 10 years. Believe it or not almost everything I know about these trucks I have learned on this board. Sure I have learned some of it first hand, but the tips tricks and shortcuts have been invaluable during my builds. Thanks to Josh for his dream about a place where all of the people who love trucks could exchange information and knowledge. To Liz for her assistance in keeping this place running smooth, to all of the Administrators, Moderators, and Members, past, present, and future who have made it a great place to hang out…...

The Moderators will move this to “General Discussion” in a couple of days but there are a lot of great guys & gals on here that don’t frequent that forum much and I wanted them to know that they are appreciated.

I’ll include a couple of pictures of trucks I have built over the years just to make it a little more legit for this forum….

Here’s to another 10 years...

Thanks Lockdoc. I just purchased a set of those wheels for my Suburban, just wondering how they look on the truck as they are.

Leon,
Congratulations on reaching these milestones! You are spot on about the wealth of knowledge available on this forum, and you are a major contributor to the knowledge bank. I always look forward to your posts. Keep up the good work!!!

Jim

**truckster** · 10-12-2016, 10:54 AM

I would have a hard time deciding which of your trucks I like best. They all look great.

I've appreciated all your input to mine an others' posts. I doubt I'll ever get to contribute as much.

**VetteVet** · 10-12-2016, 11:01 AM

I echo everyone's comments Doc. You are a wealth of information yourself.
Now get to work on 30,000.

67ChevyRedneck · 10-12-2016, 11:02 AM

I've always enjoyed "hearing" from you in posts

cypressbog · 10-12-2016, 02:00 PM

Congrats on the milestone. I bet you have calluses on your fingertips, lol.

You are one of the many that I keep coming back to learn more about these trucks. Thank you for your contribution here.

LongBox · 10-12-2016, 02:14 PM

It is guys like you, LockDoc, that make these forums work. I've not been on for very long, but I've already discovered that your posts are usually very informative. Thanks.

OregonNed · 10-12-2016, 02:47 PM

**HO455** · 10-12-2016, 04:17 PM

I'd bet that 10000 of those posts are you helping confused and misinformed people like me. Thank you for your time.
