Guten Tag (good day) from Germany! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

blukangoo · 01-07-2007, 11:38 AM

Hi, I´m Sean and was born in southern California and raised in Oregon.
I came to Germany with the US Army in 1986 and been here ever since.
In August last year when I was on vacation I decided to look for a 68 C10 like my dad had when I was a kid.
Well, I found a 68 C10/CST in pretty good shape and had it shipped over here to Germany.
I have started the restoration and plan a frame-off.

Instead of posting evrything I do here in the forum, I have started a Diary at our website.
It can be seen here: Sean´s 68 C10 Diary

I am in a couple of forums over here but want to try one out in the states.
Looking forward to taking part in the forum here.

Friends of mine are also big fans of US Cars.
We have a 70 Cutlass convertible, a 71 Cutlass Supreme and a 73 Camaro.
There cars can be seen at our site. V8 Brothers - Germany

Oh, almost forgot. You are probably wondering what blukangoo is.
My everyday car is a Blue Renault Kangoo.

Guten Tag from Vienna, Austria. I've been here since July, 2006. I work for the Fed. Gov. at the Embassy in Vienna. I left 3 trucks back home: '68 4X4, '71 4X4, and '71 Project 2 wheel drive. I sure miss those trucks. Welcome to the site.

Thank you all for the big Welcome!

I can´t wait to start trading information with all of you.

I already got an idea from the board on how to get my cab off easy.
All I need before that is a stand to put it on.
