Hi from the Great White North - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

birdie · 11-09-2005, 02:01 PM

I have been looking around for the last few weeks and seen what an awsome site this is and decided to join. I own a 71 GMC 1500 with a 350 and 3 on the tree. It is red with the cab corners and rockers rusted off but other wise in good shape. I don't own a digital camera but I will try to get some pictures of it shortly. See you all later.

Every time I hear "Great White North" I think about that. It was originally from a Canadian show called "SCTV" with Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas aka Bob and Doug MacKenzie. That spawned a movie in the early eighties. I think every Canadian male over 25 thinks of "Take off eh, you oser" everytime he hears that.

Welcome from Beautiful British Columbia, by the way birdie

Oh yeah SCTV I remember now. Remember Father Gweedo Sarducci? Good stuff

Do you know the name of that movie, I would love to check it out???

Welcome from Ontario. Your truck sounds like my truck's long lost twin brother before the restoration.

I wasn't even thinking of Bob and Doug when I wrote that

, we had just got about 3" on snow the night before. Thank you all for the warm welcome and I will see you on the board.

Jebb1978 I think the name of the movie is Strang Brew
