Hi from Germany - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

logan91k · 11-10-2008, 03:57 AM

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this site and just wanted to introduce myself.
my name is logan/Thomas from Nuremberg, Germany (Franconia/Bavaria).

I made frist contact with US built cars when I was a kid in the eraly 90s, my dad had a joboffer in Rockville Maryland and so we moved there and stayed for about 2 years

We had a Cevy Lumina back then, but I always wanted my parents to buy on of these big trucks I saw every day on my way to school. What can I say, they didn't buy one, but some years later I did!

I bought a (december) 1980 built Chevrolet C10 (modelyear 1981). The truck was originally bought by some italian guy and was used as a campingtruck

I gave it a new engine (chevy 350 tbi from a 91 g20) and a new paintjob so far.

At the moment I'm doing some more changes (lowring, new rims, phantomgrill) so the picture in the attachment is just a little sneak preview for you

I need to keep all the changes (german) Street legal (we have very very very very strict laws here...)

okay, hope my english didn't get to bad over the years and you guys can somehow figure out what I'm trying to tell!

Thomas / logan

to the board from Mid-MO!!!

You'll find this place to become your second home. There's tons of information, friends, parts, .... and so much more.

Guten Tag!

We have a few European board members, some in Germany and Austria...

I use to live in Darmstadt back in the 90's.. Just took the wife there this summer, we both love the area...

Good luck with the truck, I don't envy your gas prices but I love the Autobahn!

Welcome, there are alot of German settlements here in Texas!! Most of the old timers in some towns speak only German. Hope you like the board.

Welcome to the site, I am new here too. What I have found is that this place is kind of like Home Depot (or OBI for you), once you walk in it is easy to get distracted from what you are looking for because everything is an answer to a question. I have spent three hours on the board just reading, then realizing that I have not looked at the thread I had originally logged on to look at. I have found it very informitive and helpful, happy hunting.

The sidepipe is approved by TUEV, so no problem there. But the Phantomgrill... that's another story....
