Noob Here
« on: July 12, 2009, 08:12:04 pm »
Hey guys, new guy here, dropping in to say hey.

I've been lurking around here for a couple of years, but just deceided recently to join up.

As you can see by my sig I have a love, er, I should say obsession with Chevrolet trucks.

What pushed me to finally join up was the fact that I have finally started to restore my old '77 Chevy K-30. I was looking around for some ideas, and came back to this site.

Look in the projects section for a thread on my build up.

Here is my family portrait:

Choptop-

There is a truck exactly like the one in your avatar running around Farmington, MO.

About 2~3 months ago, it was sitting in Farmington with a for-sale sign in it's windshield.

I don't know if it is still for sale or not, but it was really clean.

Diesel pages doesn't allow public access to their pictures.  Members that are on this board can see them but no one else can.

Welcome to the site though!  Sent you a PM on the pics.

I modified my "family portrait" picture in the first post.

I hope it visible to all. If not fire off a note to me, and I will try again.  ;D
