How old is everyone?

[Ackattack]

And tell a little about yourselves.

I figure I'm on the younger end of the spectrum at 23. I've had my truck since my junior year of HS. I'm a traffic engineer with the state DOT, and been married for a year and a half.

[jays68yak]

Im 21, 22 next month. Ive had my 69 suburban since november 02. Ive been tinkering with my 68 lemans since 96. Im single and looking. ;-) Living on my own. Could possible loose my job in a month. Spent 9 months of last year unemployed. I think thats about it.

[jiggs]

I'm 25. I've been in the autobody trade for 7 years, the first 5 spent at a restoration shop. I have had my '67 GTO clone since I was 18 and have done a ground up on it. My '68 short step is now under the knife. It was my high school ride, but fell under hard times going to bush parties and such. I figure the truck that I met my long time girlfriend in deserves better than to sit out in the field rotting. Who knows, maybe we'll drive off into the sunset from our wedding in that truck.

[Txstruck]

Im 29 and soon to be unemployed on the 24th Im in the computer helpdesk business. Had my truck for a little over a year now. Graduated in 91 driving a 58 Chevy Apache 3100 short stepside with plastic windows. Didnt know what I had and sold it to a friend for $500.

[Patrick Sullivan]

17, 18 in March. Headed to OSU this fall to study Engineering, mechanical I think. Possibly minoring in Criminal Justice. Picked up my C-20 a few years ago, was used by an older guy to haul cattle trailers and such. Sadly, I'm trading the Chevy off to my Dad in exhange for a more economical '98 Dakota for college. More on that later.

[1971 Cheyenne]

Looks like i represent the younger side of the spectrum here!
I'm a grand old 14.
first got into trucks about year ago and worked hard all last summer to buy my 71 Cheyenne 10. it's proven to be a great learning experience.

i'm 22. i've been into 73-87 C and K series trucks and Blazers/Suburbans since i was 12, thanks to my grandfather and my uncle. we used to get together every Sunday to work on their trucks, those were the days! i took 2 years of Vo-Tech school during HS for Automotive Technology, and spend a year at a trade school majoring in High Performance Motorsports Tech. 3 1/2 years spent working in a PMS shop(ie Jiffy Lube), and got burnt out, so i went to a job in warehousing. after getting laid off i became a GM counterman, which i did for a year and a half. i'm currently just a factory rate working lots of OT... oh, the original question was just "how old is everyone?" oh well, you got some details.

[1968GMC]

[jmanz69]

I'm 25, getting married in June to my wonderful and very, very understanding girlfriend of 5 years. I work in the Nondestructive testing(X-ray) business. I worked thru college at a high end stereo shop as an installer. That was tons of fun, but you really can't make a good living at it unless you run your own shop. Had my truck since I was a senior in high school. Drove it everyday thru college and parked it for a couple years. Now I have it completely torn down in my garage. Now it's kinda on hold til after the wedding. Only buy stuff I can sneak under her radar.

[RON WOODGEARD]

[Palf70Step]

Just turned 46 last week. Retired Air Force. Communications/network specialist/technician...some long winded name that says I fix broken computer & comm. sh^t. I teach the stuff now as a civilian for the Air Force. I have only had my 70 for about 6 months. My first of the era. Always been into cars/trucks. This is my first project since I came back to the states from Japan in 86. Hopefully I'll be going in the assembly direction soon on mine.

[O'l Buck]

I'm 27, been into 67-72's since I was about 7, that's when I first drove the old man's 67. Went to school in Milford, NE to work on semi trucks, worked on trucks and farm tractors for about a year, drove truck OTR for 5 years, now I'm married with 2 kids, so I do mechanic work on production machinery in a syringe manufacturing plant.

[marcuspboldt]

35 going on 18, I've had the 69'cst for a couple of years I bought it with plans of using the motor and tranny for my nephews truck, but I soon realized that the truck had the original motor and trans and I just couldn't do it. So I kept it and used it as a farm truck. Now it has managed to become my daily driver and I love it!
Gets lousy mileage but it's paid for! so that makes up for all the stops at the gas pump.

I currently own my own Communications Co. www.stccommunications.com , but I am ready to move on i.e. sell it, merge or close it altogether (tired of waiting for the economy to turn and way tired of the headaches)

I still own my first car (70 Chevelle) that was given to me when I was 14, I have actually sold it twice but it's like a damn boomerang it keeps coming back, not that I bugged the people to death that I sold it to until they sold it back to me or anything like that, so I guess it was meant to be mine.

The Chevelle now has a 454, ersen gear drive, comp cams 575 lift 305 duration cam, strip dominator, Holley 850 d.p. 4000 stall
4.88's, and some other "stuff"
