Hi I'm another new guy - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ChrisK10 · 03-02-2003, 12:12 AM

Hi,

My name is Chris, I am in High School, and I am new to this forum. I have lurked around this forum for a couple of weeks now, and I finally decided to become a member. This is a great site, fun to read, helpful, and it looks like a bunch of nice folks.

Currently I own a 1979 1/2 ton 4x4 with a 350 in it. It's pretty rugged, but it's my first truck

. For quite a few months it has been sitting at my house doing nothing because we didn't have a title for it until several weeks ago. I don't have any pics, so sorry, I would post some if I had them but I don't have a digital camera or a scanner

.

My dad's friend spotted a much nicer 1979 1/2 ton 4x4 with a 400 in it. I am told it has only around 67,000 original miles on it

so it should be a very good truck. I don't know a whole lot more about it besides it has a very good body and a decent interior. The guy that owns it is a truck driver so he is on the road a lot and won't be back until sometime around Easter so I won't be able to see it or buy it until then

. I sure hope it's worth the wait

.

Well it seems I have run out of things to talk about for now, so, until next time!

-Chris

Any truck in good shape is worth waiting to buy. Just hang around and write down any ideas you have for it.
