Had a good "Jose Truck Day"---today! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**PICKMUP** · 07-24-2005, 09:01 PM

Went to Issaquah, WA truck show today at Tripple XXX, whose owner is named Jose. Great show, great location and good job setting it up by our own Mike Turner.
Got home and had some great Oregon parts waiting for me from our board member Jose. It looked like about half a truck outside my gate. Thanks buddy.
We know 2wd Blazers are rare...there were four of them at the show. White one on the street, blue and red ones in show...Oh, and that old blue rag from Olympia.

man,i have got to find me one of those blazers

**PICKMUP** · 07-24-2005, 09:20 PM

The neat little yellow stepside is gr8scott's. Nice clean truck with some unique features, like 5 speed. Oh, and I saw a for sale sign on it too.
I didn't get a pic of Mike Turner's 502 powered (660 hp) outrageous truck. What a sleeper, in a red & white, LWB truck with chrome cab lights. Looks like a farm truck. Do you think he is out "hunting" these unsuspecting late models guys to teach them a trick or two??
Saw a 72 Super, he said it had 44K original miles: buckets, console, shoulder belts, tach, tilt, 8-track...but, short bumper guards, vac gauge and new paint that he claimed was original. That kind of spoiled the story. Still a nice truck.

I was there too.......The second was the truck with no miles and orig paint.

Castiron9 · 07-25-2005, 12:35 AM

Man.all those trucks are nice looking, and there all painted...Was there an ugly duckling in the bunch..............I've got to get mine painted

You know the kind of truck I'm talking about.At least one door in primer and a couple of other color's on it.............

Frank...did Jose drop off my fender? Thanks! I was priming parts and doing yard work all day!

tomatocity · 07-25-2005, 01:57 AM

Nice truck and looks like a nice day. I am jealous. Too hot in Scaramento to work on my truck very long and I am a hot weather person.

Jose of Salem OR is a great person to do business with.

Had a good time there. I didn't see the white 2wd, but I saw the others. Frank, yours was still the nicest of them all. My wife thought you had just completed restoring it.

**PICKMUP** · 07-25-2005, 12:18 PM

Thanks Bouncy...I never get there early enough to enter...they do that crap at around 8 in the morning!

Watch out for Jose...I think he is building an underground railroad for truck parts up and down the west coast. Sure glad he didn't charge mileage.
