Newbie with quick question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bgunther · 08-31-2004, 09:41 PM

Just registered here today. I just bought a 67 GMC Longbed Stepside to restore about a week ago. The wife is already mad because i've already stripped it to the frame out in the driveway.

Anyway, i can't find a search button for this forum, are my eyes just closed or what? I don't want to ask questions that have already been asked a million times.

I look forward to your guys input through this restification.

Let me be the first to welcome you to the board. you have stumbled upon the BEST place on the web for 67 - 72 info, parts, and trivia that you'll never need to know. What part of the world you from?

Too late! You just did!

We have been having problems with the server or software or something, and the board would become unaccesable when all the cool features were activated. Once all the bugs are worked out, Josh will set it all back up.
So go ahead and ask the questions that we have seen more than the search question.

Welcome from another Kansas Flatlander! You have just found the absolute best damn board on the 'net. Lots of help, ideas, support and parts to be had here. Stepside longbeds aren't real common, can you post some pics? Took me some time to figure out how to do it as I am somewhat PC challenged.
