Just signed up, wanted to say Hi! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

vlco_ken · 11-02-2011, 02:03 AM

Hi everybody!

I just signed up for the site. I have had various 67-72's over the last few yrs, well 18yrs ago (Wow, didnt realize till just now, that it was that long ago) I got my first, a 71 gmc longhorn, with the 402. Wish I had kept that one.

Have been to the site a few times, but never signed up. I havent been working on the trucks in the last while. Bought a 4x4 last yr, having a great time wheeling it, but I miss the 72's So I am back to working on them. I am starting a new project, it is still in the planning and parts collecting stage, so I figured I would sign up and keep reading to stay motivated on my many projects.

Here's a couple pics of my trucks.

The pic of the 'burb is from when I bought it. It's a 3/4t 4x4, 350 auto, with front & rear A/C. I picked it up in Oregon, took it home and got it drivable, drove it for the weekend, and it has been parked for a couple yrs now.

The truck is my back up weekend truck, for when the Hummer is broken,well when the dogs arent driving it.

And I have a 71 or 72 chev 1/2t trailer.
