New member in Iraq!!!
Hello everyone, my name is Joe and I am currently in Iraq. I joined this forum cause I really want to get a 1968 Chevy short bed. Ive always loved the way these trucks look and have seen some REALLY nice trucks on here. As soon as I get back to the states I will begin my search for one. I will be looking in Texas. Mainly around San Antonio cause that is where Im from, but seeing how I really want this truck I am also willing to travel to get it. Ive already learned some kool stuff and seen some really awesome resto's and some really awesome custom jobs. I look forward to learning more and more on here, and all the help I can get I would greatly appreciate. So does anyone know of a truck for sale in San Antonio area???
