I live about 40 miles east of Peoria. I have yet to meet him but I live really close to 68 Stepside. Hey Red67 how long are you in Illinois for? There is an all chevy show I believe this Sunday in Washington, which is about 10 minutes east of Peoria. I plan on going unless I head to southern Illinois and catch up with the Hot Rod Power Tour. If you would like directions I can find out for ya.

Damn! The weekend that I'm all booked up...and there's an all chevy show.... I'm about 40 miles east of Peoria, in Gridley. Let me know how long you're gonna be around. My schedule is kinda hectic at the moment, but perhaps I can find a little time for a fellow truck nut. I've got job interviews, graduations, etc going on...what a week...hehe

The Power Tour is coming thru close to where I live monday. They are suppose to be in Effingham IL. About 45 minutes from me. I might head down that way. My brother in-law wants to take his 72 Cheyenne big block truck down and put it up for sale. Later

I live in this craphole of a town. Too bad you won't get this in time. Doesn't matter anyway. All I've got up here is a partially completed cab. The rest of my truck is scattered all over the state.

Hey Peoria a good place to be from. Far from! That's where my; wife lived when I met her. Moved to San Diego and now can't even get her to go back for a visit. Maybe she thinks they'll try to detain her and reprogram her or something!
