New to the Board
 
Hello Everyone:

I'm new to the board but I'm not new to these trucks.

Back in high school I had a job at a gas station as an attendant/light mechanic. The man that owned the station was a 72 Chevy truck nut. He owned a 6cyl step side, blue/white/blue Cheyenne Super, red/white/red Cheyenne, and a K-5 Blazer. Being around those trucks and helping him maintain them became an addiction for me. Ever since graduating from college I had been the hunt for one but I was holding out for something special.

After several near misses looking for the right truck I was about to give up when he contacted me about his latest project that he couldn't finish. It was the 72 2WD Blazer in my sig. I couldn't pass it up and I've had it for almost a year now. I absolutely love this truck and it is my daily driver.

Here's a link to pics and info listed on Josh's site. Some of the info needs updating but my sig is correct.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I pretty much expected y'all to like the truck because we're all afflicted with the same illness.

Thanks again.
