Re: SoCal checkin' in
I started this thread two years ago with the hopes of creating a SoCal network of truck owners. I kinda dropped the ball on that. With that said,
June 7th is the next Antique Auto Swap meet at the Fairplex in Pomona. Does everyone want to meet that day. I figure if everyone gets there early enough we could probably stake out a whole row for all of our trucks. Bring your EZ-ups, chairs, mini BBQ's and coolers.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Well Dano, I tried to pick it up from where you let off. As adults we all get busy in life, and I thank you for getting it started. Cant say for sure if I can make Pomona, I will know better as time gets closer. But im working on a meet in Orange County. I will keep you posted.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
The plan is to host it at my friends BBQ place in Anaheim. On State College Blvd, bout 3 miles from the Honda Center.
What im finding is that a Sunday might be work out best for this meet. The place is called Smokehouse BBQ, on the corner of South and State College. Just south of Lincolin Blvd. Give me a day or two and I will throw a date out for June. |

Re: SoCal checkin' in
hey bro I started with a 67 C20 , first thing I did was go to a junk yard and found a 87 suburban. I took the axle and front crossmember with upper and lower arms, sindles disc brakes, almost bolts right up with minor modifications and you got your self 5 lug set up too!! any chevy truck from 73 to 87 will work, and those you can find anywere, you have alot more options for rims with 5 or 6 lugs also.. I did this cause I too was set on rally rims.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Another option is get the C-20 spindle conversion kit from CPP (Classic Performance Products), then all you would do is change your spindles, and add disc brakes from 73 to 87 trucks. You would keep your crossmember tie rods etc etc. The rear is a different story.

Welcome to the board and to the SoCal page. Have you tried just attaching them by using the paperclip next to the smiley face? Also if your pictures are too big, then they wont attach. |

Re: SoCal checkin' in
SoCal ping, guys!
2008 was a disaster for me, for lots of reasons, but I'm going to be checking in again on a more regular basis now, if I can. Thanks to VDOG for keeping things going all this time ... I'm sorry I wasn't able to help. Anyone interested in any kind of encounter near La Crescenta/Montrose/Glendale/Burbank/Sunland and I'll be there if I can, even if it's just for ten minutes, or whatever. The 1994 K1500 Silverado (short bed, step side, ext. cab, 5.7L, Z71 and tow package) is still going and still towing the trailer, at just over 190K miles. I'll probably be dropping her with a new mechanic on Foothill Blvd. for service this week (a few issues going on that might leave me on the side of the road if I don't do something about it). Greetings to all, and good luck with your truck! |

Thanks for the support Kex. Now as before if you put a meet together, we will show up. We just need a date and time, and giving enough notice, the more trucks that will show up. |
