This Message Board

[special-K]

This 88-98 message board reminds me of this website when it first kicked off. Or I should say when I first came to it in '04. It was all one message board and mostly 67-72. These trucks were still new or newish. Still in the first years of the 99-ups. The posts were very mixed in content. There were "look at the nice truck" threads but mostly posts by members looking for help fixing their 67-72 truck.** Oops! (read below first)

That's how this MB feels now. The 67-72s got to be so popular and became a lot about high dollar trucks. I imagine this MB will change in the same way. But, while these trucks are simple compared to newer trucks, they are also not as simple to diagnose as the earlier ones. So it's great to have people here who can help, and there will probably always be a demand for that as more people turn their eyes to these very great years of GM Trucks. Even when new I saw these as the next great classics comparable to 67-72s in their step ahead of what came before while retaining a long lasting classic vibe.

The big difference is back then I had a lot of knowledge to bring on the 67-72s, on these trucks not so much. Back in '04 I was driving two of these trucks and they just went. You don't learn much when the truck just goes and goes. Both my trucks were 6.5TDs and I did have some knowledge on those since I had been running 6.2s since '89. My first forum experience was on The Diesel Page, a GM diesel forum. I found this place through their "links" section.
