Can't wait, I'm really psyched! I won't have a lot of time for sight seeing but would like to know from the local people some of the highlights I shouldn't miss and some nice places to get a steak and a cold one...

Sweet72 · 01-30-2006, 10:19 PM

Ed was awesome and so were the people! Very friendly folks and the weather was spring-like till saturday morning ( -7 deg. C ) when I had to leave. Surprisingly the only 67-72 GM pickup I spotted was at the L3 Spar Aviation hangar at the airport Sat. Jan. 28th.

Russell · 01-30-2006, 11:44 PM

67-72s are quite rare in these parts

Rod -- Feel free to give me a shout if you need anything

Home number would be best. Me and another forum member plan to meet at the Pick Your Part on the West end tommorow morning at 10:30 if you are free and can find a way

Just look for my step side, it should be there with a 67-72 longstep box on the back.

Pics can be found at www.zieglerdigital.ca/public/pictures
