New SoCal
« on: June 03, 2012, 03:37:54 am »
Hello all!
New to the forum. Have a 78 Stepside working on making a hotrod. Looking forward to picking your brains and learning as much as possible! Also, what are the best online part stores for our trucks?

Thanks,
Kyle

http://store.73-87chevytrucks.com/merchant2/ is the perfect place to start.  If you don't see what you need email the webmaster Chris, he has a lot more stuff not shown.  Welcome from NW Indiana

I am over here in Temecula.

     My son lived there for awhile.  I heard not much for work there except hospital field.
