Aloha Y'all - Newbie from SoCal - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

64c20crewcab · 06-27-2008, 07:03 PM

Hey Folks! I've been been lookin in from the outside for so long now I decided to registger on this site. Found lots of great info here THANKS!

I'm driving a 1964 Chevy C20 3 Door Crew Cab. Its one of a few hundred that were built by the Armbruster-Stageway in Fortsmith, AK. They made the 18-20 passenger 12 door airporter cars/ wagons in the 50's-60's & and limos in the 70'-80's. My rigs style were built and used military bases, state/govt forestry and railroad companys.

Its been running SB350/TH350 since 1988. Has the Eaton H052 (w/t 14b rear disc added in 07). That darn Eaton is what drove me to this site sometime ago. I'm still hunting for more info & parts.....

The rig is kinda rough, very kewl, and daily driven.

Will have a few pics of "The Beast" added to the gallery one day.

btw, Anybody here goin to the Brothers show in July?

color pic is the real deal

bw pic p-shop'd - www & bout 4-5" drop - future plans...

Dat's it for now.
Thanks!
Norm
