Indeed , there are many fine folks here , all different levels of interest and ways of enjoying their old trucks .
DO come to one of the meets , I like the Parking lot @ some Eatery ones the best , they're very informal and much idea swapping and help giving occurs . ![]()

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Those were always my favorite ones for BMW/Euro meets. The little ones in random parking lots. Just meeting with people, seeing what they did to their vehicles, chatting, enjoying the idea sharing and problem solving.
Would definitely be stoked to get my truck out for some informal hang out meets. Good stuff. Thanks. |

Hang in there Dave and keep looking at the events page as they have very nice ones indeed , the goold folks here know everything collectively and are happy to share ideas and solutions .
Wait'll you see some of the rigs built at home by regular guys ~ it's all very inspiring . Some beaters & junkers (ahem) show up too just to prove it is hard to kill a CHEVROLET truck ![]() ![]() As I have extremely limited Internet access , I have to rely on someone telling me whenever there's a local meet , DO NOT miss one ! .

The dreaded tinworm .
I assume you know it's like fire in that it's difficult to halt until you understand ' The <Magic> Triangle ' : ferrous metal , oxygen and moisture . So , breaking any side of the triangle , halts it . Being a (damn) Yankee Farm Boy I learned in the early 1960's that fish oil based paints , like Rustoleum , encapsulate very well , far better than the Eastwood crap my buddies in Fla. are always cursing out as it's only good for a few years before peeling away . The brush typ , dig ? . That's why it comes in those nifty little pint cans and so many different colors : Farm Equipments need to be rust proofed regularly , ' patina ' is bull**** DEATH to any Machinery , old or new . Oops ~ ranting again . not sorry though ![]() ![]()

Re: SoCal checkin' in
A hi torque mini starter will solve all of the problems associated with an oem starter; grinding, clicking, not engaging, heat soak...

If you're local to Pasadena , try the PCC Swap Meets , corner of Colorado Blvd. & Hill St. , tons of good stuff cheap , I don't know when they have them though as I'm too broke to go to swap meets now .

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Made a front end decision at the half off sale at Pick your Part. Going to keep the GMC look since I got a great price on the grille. Now to figure out to get it chromed or just paint it to match the truck color.
