how did you find this board? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

gonebad2 · 12-23-2003, 03:49 AM

Heard about it from you Shawn...Thanks, You're a good dude. Keep up the good work supplying all of the parts to the people. I sometimes catch sh*t from others on here but it don't bother me. I donate just like everyone else..not much, but it's what I can afford right now. I want to keep this board alive. Thanks again, Shawn

Google Search

supercheyenne · 12-23-2003, 05:29 AM

Well it was way before there was a google. I think I did a yahoo search back in the day.

I think the orange site was a copy cat of Josh's site... man it seems like a hundred years ago.

Andy4639 · 12-23-2003, 07:45 AM

Searching for truck parts, I came across gmcpauls, and checked his link page out. Been here ever since.
This site is the best, without a doubt.

**Palf70Step** · 12-23-2003, 08:51 AM

Got connected through DogPile...

When I was thinking of bying my 70, I started looking for sites about the year and DogPile gave me this. The rest is history...so to speak.

71Chev · 12-23-2003, 09:41 AM

I was looking for a truck to buy and found the original board. Been here ever since.

smokekiki · 12-23-2003, 10:09 AM

I was at home and bored after surgery,and had read and reread all my truck books and catologs.Thought I would check out this internet thing,and typed in 67-72 chevy trucks,and here I am!

**CPNE** · 12-23-2003, 10:59 AM

I came over from old board too, nearly same day this one was incarnated. If you use user ID# as the test for seniority, I'm member #10. Of active members only Josh (1) and Fine69 (6) have seniority on me! Yes I'm damn proud of it :p

Davy · 12-23-2003, 11:30 AM

When I was looking for a Blazer, I found another board member's (pierce) Blazer restoration website.

http://home.fuse.net/pierce/Blazer1.htm.

After talking to him a couple times about his restoration, he told me about the board.

I was searching for a GTO to restore and always found info on these trucks and started looking for a 68, figured I drove a truck daily why not restore one, now hoplessly addicted

Bill72BB · 12-23-2003, 12:55 PM

I was looking for some info on my daughters 82 chevy one day when I was working on it and came across the site , Then came back to the 67-72 forum's.

Mixup · 12-23-2003, 01:02 PM

Did a search and here I am. Best site there is.

Steve Carda · 12-23-2003, 02:38 PM

Wow. I checked to see what my userID was and it's 1512. I've been here a while though.

I must be getting senile, because I don't remember how I found the board. I know I was looking for parts sources, but I don't know if this board came up as a search result, or if I found a link on a supplier's site.

Was the "old board" the one just before this one, or was it some krunky old thing? I liked how the post count stayed the same on the last board, and the signature did too.

Krunky as in the archaic indented thread format:

This current format had a previous "face" as you mention, but the basic format was the same as this one.

Oh, I'm glad it was gone before I came along. I hate those types of forums!

go-fast69 · 12-23-2003, 03:07 PM

A guy who was a member & had a truck like mine showed it to me & have been on it since.

mocwon · 12-23-2003, 04:48 PM

By accident, while I was surfing the web for Chevy truck websites.

Stout72 · 12-23-2003, 05:10 PM

I think I picked up a link from classicpickups.com, about 2 years ago. I didn't get into the board until after I bought Stout and was looking for parts, rear brake drums, I believe it was.

lewi · 12-23-2003, 08:49 PM

I was was looking into buying a 67-72 in early 2000 and found it on a search engine but I don't remember which one. i did alot of reading of posts and learning. Finally registered in 2002.

terrym1 · 12-23-2003, 11:04 PM

I was on the never ending search for cheap parts and blam there you were lol

laplander · 12-23-2003, 11:46 PM

In late 98, I started looking to buy a 67-72 swb 4x4. Almost 2 years later (Aug. 2000) I found the truck I have today. Shortly after buying my truck, I did a "Yahoo" search and found Josh's site. Been here ever since and check in almost daily to see what else I can learn about these classic trucks.
