Anyone still a member of this club? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**MJN** · 04-22-2002, 11:03 AM

Has anyone heard anything from the National Chevy GMC truck association? A while back the editor fell from a tree and had some medical problems. That was like a year ago almost. Anyone else a member or know anything that is going on?

I inquired about joining and starting a local chapter about a month ago. This is the email I got back from one of contacts listed on their web site.

Hi Tom,

The National Chevy GMC Truck Association is no longer in operation. I have not been in contact with the owner Jim Knight in several months, however I do not see it up and running in the near future.

I formed my own truck club many years ago here in Northern California, we later became a chapter of the Association. It is still going strong and puts on an all truck show every year.

If you are interested in forming a group of truck owners in your area I would be more than happy to provide information on how best to go about it. It requires lots of dedication, legwork and patience to get a club going. The payoff is lifelong friendships, activities & a network to share information about the Chevy/GMC trucks I love so much.

Thanks for your inquiry!

Bummer, I really liked that club too! They really knew what they were doing. Maybe it was too much of a good thing. Too bad.
