Well its Official!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wells guys and gals, It is official I am selling 67-72 Chevy and GMC truck parts. Still keeping my full time job for now! LOL No web site for now trying to get set up Locally real good first. I have been getting a lot of stock in the last few days. Making my garage a Show Room I want to get it stocked real good because when I want to buy a part I like to look at it and take it with me right then! So I am going to try and do that for my Customers here in town. Wish Me Luck!

Way to go dude! Hell, you could get by just selling rocker panels for these trucks,
 . I guess you thoroughly checked the demographics where you are?. Best way is to check the concentration of board members in your area. Who would be your closest competitior?

Lots of luck Tim! I just put your phone numbers in my wallet. I'm in Knoxville, and still have a lot to do to finish my truck. You will definitely be hearing from me. I really like the idea of being able to buy locally, and from someone who obviously knows something about our trucks.

Great................. I am sure this will florish in a short time into a full time venture............... It was nice meeting you and Josh in Charlotte. Since he has an interest in trucks he might be the staple that makes in work.....kids network more than we do.
Good luck, God bless Billy
