Re: New guy from San Diego
Welcome Chief.
My son just retired from the Navy after putting in 20. Me, I was on the other side of the fence in bootcamp. Will not say "the better side, just the other side". Glad to have you and your beautiful truck as part of the group.

Re: New guy from San Diego
Hello John!
Welcome to the club from San Diego. Just moved here from the east coast. When I get my '69 here from Phoenix in the next month or so we will have to meet up. Great looking truck you have there.
