Good morning from Oregon and a '72 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Morning all! Been a lurker for a bit and figured I'd better get in the action. First the only stuff you really care about. She's a 1972 C20 Fleet w/ the 350 and the 350th. Not particularly pretty right now, but that is SLOWLY changing. She's been sitting in a barn for the last four years or so, and is just getting finished receiving her new (used) motor. Got some serious rust problems (hole size of a softball in the bottom B pillar corner and some on the inside bottoms of the doors) and is currently all primer brown/red waitin' for repair. All the same, I lover her dearly! The truck was given to me by my Dad a few years ago, and he had it since I was about 10 (26 now). It was the rig i used when i got my license at 16, and the rig we took camping all the time! Anyway, that's the history of the truck. Dad now has a '71 fleet C20, and we're parting a 70 GMC.

My other rig is an '89 Jeep Cherokee, 2/ the 4.0, AW4, 3.5" Rustys full susp lift, D44, etc. And an '87 Escort that I'm willing to practically give away if anyone around here would like it. Runs great, and gets close to 40 mpg but I don't have room for it!

C y'all around.

BTW, I dont' seem to have any pics on my computer, so I'll get some up soon.

Welcome to the board. Where in Oregon are you? I'm from the Coos Bay/North Bend area. There is an Oregon Club. Check the regional sections on the board to find info.
