Heard about it from you Shawn...Thanks, You're a good dude. Keep up the good work supplying all of the parts to the people. I sometimes catch sh*t from others on here but it don't bother me. I donate just like everyone else..not much, but it's what I can afford right now. I want to keep this board alive. Thanks again, Shawn

Well it was way before there was a google. I think I did a yahoo search back in the day.
I think the orange site was a copy cat of Josh's site... man it seems like a hundred years ago. |

Searching for truck parts, I came across gmcpauls, and checked his link page out. Been here ever since.
This site is the best, without a doubt.

I was born here
I came over from old board too, nearly same day this one was incarnated. If you use user ID# as the test for seniority, I'm member #10. Of active members only Josh (1) and Fine69 (6) have seniority on me! Yes I'm damn proud of it :p

When I was looking for a Blazer, I found another board member's (pierce) Blazer restoration website.
http://home.fuse.net/pierce/Blazer1.htm. After talking to him a couple times about his restoration, he told me about the board. Davy

I must be getting senile, because I don't remember how I found the board. I know I was looking for parts sources, but I don't know if this board came up as a search result, or if I found a link on a supplier's site. Was the "old board" the one just before this one, or was it some krunky old thing? I liked how the post count stayed the same on the last board, and the signature did too.

Oh, I'm glad it was gone before I came along. I hate those types of forums!

I think I picked up a link from classicpickups.com, about 2 years ago. I didn't get into the board until after I bought Stout and was looking for parts, rear brake drums, I believe it was.

In late 98, I started looking to buy a 67-72 swb 4x4. Almost 2 years later (Aug. 2000) I found the truck I have today. Shortly after buying my truck, I did a "Yahoo" search and found Josh's site. Been here ever since and check in almost daily to see what else I can learn about these classic trucks.
