Hey Guys,

My name is Bill, and I live a little south of you's. New Zealand is that little spec on the bottom right corner of your world map....... I'm a long (long) time lurker, but have finally purchased a 1972 GMC K2500. It's going to be my work truck, kid hauler, and holiday wagon. Well soon....after a quick tidy up!! I've posted some pictures down in pictures...... I have already learnt alot from reading the posts here, but I'm working on a couple of new 'stupid' questions. Let me know what you think of my 'new' truck!! See ya round.

Bill.

Welcome to the board from South Mississippi! I've been way down South, Freemantle and Perth Australia to be exact. I'd love to see NZ, it's on my list of places to visit one day.

Welcome to the forum Billhilly. It's always nice to have a new guy here, but especially cool if they are from another part of the world. Keep us posted on your progress...

Thanks for the welcome guys. I'm getting a little done every week. The bed is ready to come off and be sand blasted. I continue to source parts from your side of the equator, and hope to ship everything within four weeks. Working on my 'stupid' questions!! Catch you round.

Bill.
