Another new guy - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BudTX · 09-23-2005, 09:26 AM

My first truck was a 1967 Chevrolet C20 with a straight six, three on the tree, no radio and no A/C that I drove back in the mid 70s.

I am now the proud owner of a 1983 K20 4x4 that I think is a "Camper Special", because it has a little teepee logo on the door pillar. We are going to get it in a bit better running shape and build it into a mud truck/hunting truck.

I have lurked here a little since buying this truck a week ago, and am impressed with the collective knowledge of this board, and look forward to learning a lot here.

Regards,

Bud

There certainly are lot's of big deer out here. We have a few out on our place, but in looking around, it appears that the preferred method of deer hunting is not with a bow or a rifle, but with an automobile. I'm not kidding, there is a regular section of the local weekly paper dedicated to deer/auto accidents.

Welcome BUD, give me a shout sometime and we can go deer hunting with our trucks!
