How did you find this site?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have always wondered how did you find this site. I found this site by accident when I was looking for a mid 50's truck via the internet.. By reading the various forums I became more aware of the 67-72 trucks. Thus I ended up purchasing a 1970 BB402 C10

About 10 years ago I lost an eBay auction on some OEM exhaust manifolds and OEM air cleaner for my truck at the time. I emailed the guy and asked if he had any more OEM parts. He said no, but sent me a link and turned me on to this board.

Google search.

I figured a forum was the best way for me to learn about fixing my truck.

Well back in the 90's (that's 1990's for you youngsters) there where two site when you searched Altavista or whatever existed before Google. LOL

Both sites were thread based but Josh's layout seemed more logical. Thus, I stuck around. I remember when he announced we'd be changing over to Vbullitin and everyone was concerned. Crazy to recall.

Well like some have said, I searched the internet and started reading the 67-72 chevy truck threads and now I'm hear, nothing could be finer...:chevy:

Re: How did you find this site?
 
I guess I first got on the computer looking up websites I saw in Hemmings Motor News listings to look for trucks and parts. I saw these things called "Links", clicked on them, and started finding my way around the internet. I think this was a link on www.vintagechevytrucks.com or www.fillingstation.com . I kept looking more and more, then finally signed-up to answer an unanswered question

I did a Google search looking for c10 forums and this was the first to pop up.

I have been and still am on a similar forum for Toyota Land Cruisers(ih8mud) as I have restored several FJ40s. Got the urge to get back to my roots. My first new truck was a 68 Chevy and that body style always turned my head. I saw this 69CST 10 and I just had to have it. Went on google and typed in 67-72 Chevy forum and this sight popped up. My gain.

I race R/C and there are a couple forum sites that are very prominent for that hobby..I figured there would be similar forum sites for trucks, a simple google search and wallah here I am.

EARNHARDT#3 04-17-2015 01:14 PM

Re: How did you find this site?
 
Because everything I googled for our trucks came back to this site. I was like well this is the place! And damn it's a wealth of knowledge. I'm the type of guy who whenever I get into a new hobby I end up knowing all about it. This site provides countless hours of reading and whenever a question arises 99% of the time you can figure it out by searching here. It's only when you don't know the terminology that makes it hard to find. I love this site!

I joined back in '07 right after I got my 1972 GMC. I found it via a Google search. I didn't make my first post for almost 3 years.

They already do. My browser has six Google scripts blocked on this page alone.

I've always been a big forum guy. When I decided it was time to buy I truck I just googled "c10 forum" this one and the other one popped up. Definitely liked this one better than other even though I'm member over there as well, just don't ever post.

I sold a 1972 GMC c20 frame on craigslist. The guy pulled up in a purple painted 72 ambulance (LockDoc) with a 67-72chevytrucks.com sticker in the back window went home checked it out and have been one here ever since.

Turned on the computer, typed in 70 GMC truck. A big hole opened up and here I am. Man, that was a long time ago.

Re: How did you find this site?
 
Found it when I was stationed in Kandahar Afghanistan trying to look up some parts for a '69 GMC Longhorn I once owned. Ended up buying a non-original 396 lwb C-10 that needed some attention, but got for a good price.
That C-10 is almost in running condition thank to this site and all the good information available here for us that are in need of information.

I'm with you. I probably found it looking for parts on Altavista but it was so long ago I no longer remember.

Remember those days before Google, before Al Gore invented the internet? One would go to altavista, type in what you wanted then add "and not sex and not resume". You could also type in something like double-u-double-u-double-u.carparts.com and get to a website selling car parts and not a bunch of pictures of naked ladies. But sadly, like affordable health care those days are long gone.

I bought my first truck in August 2001 and signed on here in November 2003. Honestly I don't remember how I found the site but probably surfing the net for 1972 Chev truck info. I will be a member here until there is RIP under my name or Josh and Liz sell the site to someone that changes everything.

Re: How did you find this site?
 
I belonged to a Corvette Forum for many years, so when I bought my truck I figured there must be a forum out there. I found a couple, but this one by far is the best.

Re: How did you find this site?
 
Pretty much how others found it, googled lowered 68 c10 and found this amazing place.

CG 04-20-2015 08:28 PM

Re: How did you find this site?
 
I don't remember how I found it. I had a 71 K10, so I was probably searching for parts or info. I do know (possibly?) that my user name now and date joined is different from the first time I joined.

There was some not so friendly stuff being bantered about when I first joined so I just went, heck with this place. But it really was the only game in town so I came back, but had forgotten my original user name and password ... It might not have even been that long lol, I am a tad bit forgetful =) Or maybe this is my original name and join date and the other name was different because I couldn't remember this one ... then I did remember later ... you follow??? LOL!

Things were much nicer when I came back. This was the first bulletin board I had ever joined so I just needed to figure out how to navigate better and ignore the few butt heads that were around.

Made tons of friends, and I've learned a lot.

Ok, I am seriously not kidding on this one...
About 15 years ago, I typed in a search into this new thing at the time named "Google" for:
67-72 Chevy Truck
www.67-72chevytrucks.com was the first site listed in results

On a side note.
My favorite thing to do when talking to people under about 25 years old is to say... "listen to me, I've been around... I am older than Google"

trapdoor2 05-15-2015 01:38 PM

Re: How did you find this site?
 
Piece of cake.

I do 'net research as part of my work. These days, if there is anything worth talking about...there'll be a forum for it.

I've been on various fora since I started messing with this personal computer crap back in the 80's.

And here I is!

Me too. No matter what the hobby there is a forum full of knowledgeable and helpful people.

You can't do a Google search without this url popping up somewhere, somehow.


...and that's a great thing :metal:

I restored a 67 Ford Bronco and the Early Bronco forum was unbelievably helpful. Last week when I took on this 72 K10 project I just assumed there was a similar forum. BINGO! One quick Google search and here I am.

I guess I'm a member of the "I don't remember' club. But then again I can walk into a room and not remember why I went in.
