New Guy here in Springfield, MO
Hello everybody, I am happy to have found this place! It looks like a good new home for me! I knew there was a place for people who love these trucks as much as me and my family. I finally found and bought a nice 72 shortbed, I have lots of plans for it, and just bought a 360 short block earlier this week to build for it. My brother had a 69' swb when I was younger, I have wanted one of my own since I first laid eyes on it, he had to sell it during some hard times,but is looking for another now, our dad has a 67' GMC swb with a 468 big block now as well. Looking forward to getting to know you all, and I cant wait to look at some more trucks on here! LOTS of nice ones on here. Also I saw a bunch of pics of missouri trucks and a meet, I would like to have info on the next one if anyone can help? Thanks and hope to meet some people!

Re: New Guy here in Springfield, MO
Welcome from the Pacific N.W. This is a great site and most everybody is a like minded Chevy/GMC truck-nut, so you've come to the right place. When you get a chance post up some pics of your '72- we'd love to see 'em. Also, your Pappy's '67 sounds killer- I'm sure there are plenty who wouln't mind checking that out too!
