200th Post To Say - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

eightbanger · 04-15-2008, 12:24 AM

Thanks!...to all the people on this board who have taken the time to help me whenever i've had a query or a problem with my truck, this site has been invaluable to me and especially if you live this far away. Even to spend time just reading through the different posts....you can learn so much, and best of all I can sit here and have a good laugh at some of the really funny and light hearted posts as well. I even found an international section that I had no idea excisted for people like myself who unfortunately find themselves not living in the U.S

but it was a bit quiet...and anyway it was full of foreigners

Special thanks to..in no particular order:
Too Much Stuff..Eric
Classicheartbeat..Wes
Hart_Rod...Rob
Putter
72swb
Byrd..Randy
For helping me with parts and or just being a friend.

Thanks mate.

Glad to have you here, and happy to help with your truck. I can't imagine not being able to run to the junkyard or parts store and not find some goodies. That would drive me to drinkin'. Now lets see some pics of the truck!!! Yes, under the bonnet too. HAHA Eric

Never really thought to look....but now you ask it seems there is no manufacturer name like Goodyear etc on them, so did a search on google and here they are
http://starfiretires.com/us/en/default.asp. Had a look at the truck in D&C was hopeing maybe i'd bought a old movie truck...no such luck.

Nice looking truck nigel! I imagine it will do a smokey burnout pretty easy?? If you can afford the gas to do that anyhow...

Talking of burnouts Eric...this is where I bought the truck from you can still watch the advertising video. Keep watching they do a couple of burnouts.
