I am happy this is all legit thus far. Its a tear jerking story and who wouldn't it touch.
As far as my involvement, ya'll can feel free to setup anything you want to do. I am to far from Dawn to be planning things for you guys
I wish her and ya'll the best with this. PM Josh if you guys need any help board wise.

I was referring to donations. Does this mean we need to collect donations on our own? I have no problem doing that, but I just wanted to keep this as legit as possible and go through the board.

On another note I am heading out here in a few minutes to Pigeon Forge. I'll take some pictures when I stop by Dawn's and post them back here. Have a good weekend.

Man...I have not spent enough time on this forum. I just found this thread. although i was supposed to be at a meeting an hour ago, I couldn't stop reading the posts. It would be awesome if we could max this lady's profits out on those trucks.

I wish one of those shows would respond, this tops most of the truck rebuild shows I have watched. Does anybody have a high level contact with GM ?

How awesome if the Chevy Truck Division stepped up to the plate. They went bonkers over that guy who put a million miles on his Chevy. Man, you guys are awesome foe stepping up to the plate on this. Count me in on the PayPal account.

Now I know why Chevy/GMC has been my vehicle of choice. The people are the BEST !

Now I gotta tell my wife her Honda Accord goes and she better start picking out a Chevy...

Ok..after posting the last post, I thought of one person who seems to care about the average American and appears to have high level contacts with GM/Chevy. So, I took a long shot and sent the following email:

If you could get this to Sean, it would be great !

Sean,

This is an example of the "real" world out here that the "Liberals" refuse to acknowledge really exists.

The "Bitter Americans that cling to their guns and bibles” are hard at work trying to help another “bitter” American. ( OK sarcasm intended) Please have someone, or preferably yourself read this posted thread that has just become (for me) a symbol of what the true America, and the True American, is all about.

This thread starts out slow, as it wasn't meant to be, what it became.

I know this might seem trivial in the whole great scheme of things, but sometimes these little things are what keeps us “Bitter Americans” going.

You have connections high within the GM Chevy/GMC hierarchy. Maybe, just maybe, they would be willing to help a lady who’s love for their product, was only surpassed with her love of her family.

Thanks for all you do.

By the way, my Daughter is currently in her second week of boot camp ( Fort Leonard Wood MO) becoming ARMY strong !

I, as a proud parent of a Military Daughter, appreciate ALL that you and your Army of friends and supporters do for our Military Members.

Take Care,

In case you aren't familiar with the Sean Hannity show, the "Bitter American" theme is off his show regarding the liberal's leader's comments about the true Americans. Anyway, just thought a long shot wouldn't hurt.

C'mon people rack your brains.....somebody else has to have an idea/contact/thought process to make this work.

Maybe you know somebody, who knows somebody who knows somebody. They say we all are only 6 degrees away from being related..or something like that......

Guys let me say how moved I am. I just bought my first 68 a few months ago (Always been a sport compact guy I’m 28 so don’t hold it against me) and join the site to find parts and glad I did for this post alone. I work for Dee Zee a large truck accessories company and I’ve email one of our Reps down south who has been in the industry for a long time to see if we can help contact some of the shows you have mentioned. I will continue to try and put something together on my end and let you know. Just got off the phone with our rep and He'll call the guys at Gearz tonight and see what they say.



Thanks

Josh

I've got an idea how to collect donations. I've been racking my brain to find an idea of how to receive money in a way that everyone could see their donations and that they were counted. It sounds like Liz isn't really up to the PayPaling the board idea. I don't really feel comfortable receiving money in my PayPal account when nobody really has proof who-sent-what. Here's the idea. Let me know what you think.
Saturday, I'll set up an eBay auction in the eBay Motors Parts and Accessories category for "a picture of Dawn's truck." With "number of items available: 500" each for a buy-it-now" of $10. If you'd like to donate $10 to dawn, buy one, if you'd like to donate $100, buy 10, etc. I'll give you feedback that says: thanks from 63 & 64 Bowties. You leave me feedback with your forum name in the text of the feedback, like: Thanks from tdave00". That way, everyone can see who donated what by just viewing the auction. I'll throw in $100 right off the bat. And I'll donate fees from the ebay and PayPal fees, that way if you send $10, Dawn gets the whole $10 and I pay the fees. Of course, I'm not really going to send anyone a picture. Then, once I get maybe $1,000 or so I'll get a money order, scan it, post it here, and send it to Dawn.

Like the Guiness guys say, "Brilliant!" If you make it lower than $10 you might get more participants. (Some of us are living on military pay checks.)
