Chevyfatman just left here... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Longhorn Man · 07-13-2003, 12:59 AM

yup, cheesewagon and chevy fat man just hauled outa here. Been hanging out here since like 3 PM, and I just lead paul (fat man) t the freeway a moment ago. (almost one AM now) Tom (Mr Cheesewagon) will probably be gettin home about now and reading this.
Y'all were drooling over fat man's Blazer pics....that's nothing, this rig is awsome. Set up with mini tubs and ladder bars/leaf springs, and slammed to an awsome stance. Awsome body on it too.

Longhorn Man · 07-13-2003, 01:00 AM

Here's his rig, totally loaded down. Big block, front cros emmber set up, all kinds of neat stuff tossed in there.

Longhorn Man · 07-13-2003, 01:01 AM

Here is his tow rig... a pretty sweet combo IMO.

Longhorn Man · 07-13-2003, 01:04 AM

Mr Cheese wagon was here too from the northern edge of the state, pickin up som items for another member. (sorry, can't remember the other guy's name.)
I kinda expected a burb with a real rust problem.
My wife suprised me on this...she saw Tom in traffic as she was makin her way back this way and as soon as she saw it, she knew it was tom.
Maybe becouse there is only one burb on the west side here and it is a total rust bucket and dead in a parking lot. (But the guy wants like 3,000 bucks since it is the RARE 3 DOOR!!!)
Any how, here is Mr Wagon threatening to do a burn out on my quiet street. (quitet neighborhood with traffic doin 50 MPH as we are out there messin with our trucks)

Longhorn Man · 07-13-2003, 01:06 AM

Left to right...
Paul...Chevy Fat Man (why fat? I don't see a fat man there???)

Tom...SwissCheese.
And myself.
Oh, and Paul's Co-Pilot too, but he is on the back side of my camera there.

Longhorn Man · 07-13-2003, 01:12 AM

And of course, the trucks. A 71 K/5 2 wheel drive, a 71 suburban with reincarnated Jodie engine parts, a 72 (i think) C/10 long bed, my 69 1/2 ton GMC dressed in Chevy grill, and the one ton longhorn in the top of the driveway. (they got to hear it roar to life for a few seconds)
An honorable mention that is not in sight, my wife's Contour...hidden on the other side of the street. It took me a moment to get the right angle where her ford was not seen in this photo.

We almost had one of every 2 wheel drive body style...in fleet beds anyways...al we woulda needed was a panel truck to complete the fleet of fleets.

Tom...great seeing you, lookin forward to eein you at Mikes.
Paul...you know you can swing by any time you're coming through. (his second time at the bat cave)
Paul's co-pilot...Stop reading over Paul's shoulder and get a puter...then you can join us on here.

**68 Stepside** · 07-13-2003, 01:14 AM

Careful Andy, you're leaning on a turd!!!!

Board member meetings rock.

Longhorn Man · 07-13-2003, 01:23 AM

Yeah...had to wash my elbow right after the pic was taken.

teeitup · 07-13-2003, 09:28 AM

I'm glad they made it that far, I was wondering where they would be at. Paul has to be tired by now!! We had his old truck loaded down with parts when he left here. So thats the burb Tom has been getting parts from me for!!!!!!! Randy

*Piston* · 07-13-2003, 10:28 AM

Scott's (previous owner) really missin' that Blazer lol. That was one hell of a deal thats for sure. There's been alot of rear suspension work done and your right, that stance is perfect I think.
Enjoy the ride and keep us posted on the project... I know Scott will be interested in seeing it come back to life.

Longhorn Man · 07-13-2003, 01:41 PM

Hmmm, I thought I had posted a pic of the trucks...here goes...

Longhorn Man · 07-14-2003, 04:13 PM

Has anyone heard from Paul?

teeitup · 07-14-2003, 04:24 PM

He emailed me and said he got home at 11:00 am yesterday, he slept all afternoon Sunday.

dubie · 07-14-2003, 04:34 PM

I think I would hit a tree if I was driving down a street and saw all those trucks in 1 spot!! Great pics Andy

chevy_fatman · 07-14-2003, 08:26 PM

Thanks for the hospitaly Longhornmail! It was great stopping by your place and talking some, also it was great meeting Cheesewagon, I also tought that his truck was really bad (rust related), but heck that's nothin compared to what I have seen.
BTW, my longbed is a '71

teeitup · 07-14-2003, 08:38 PM

It doesn't look that rusty! I've seen alot worse too Paul. Glad you made a safe trip!!

chevy_fatman · 07-14-2003, 08:55 PM

I made the trip Randy, I don't know about safe

the truck was swaying like crazy with that big block on the back, I did get it to do 70 after dropping off that BB.
Then my tranny started leaking, but I made it home ok, not bad considering the junker my longbed is huh?

Thanks again Randy.

Longhorn Man · 07-14-2003, 11:13 PM

Dubie...funny you say that, we had quite a few ppl slow down and gawk at us. One cat even stopped and pulled out one of those cast metal slammed model trucs and told us they were for sale someplace...
the guy's smile faded when Pauls says "Oh yeah, I have one of those."
It was awsome.
Y'all are welcome here any time.

1969 GMC · 07-14-2003, 11:57 PM

hey chevy fatman, i have been meaning to ask but keep forgetting to...how is the Longhorn? I havent heard about it in a while. hope its goin good!

chevy_fatman · 07-15-2003, 10:57 AM

lol, I remember that Andy, a GM guy as he called himself but he was driving a Chrysler

Here's a pic of the ones I have, the yellow one belongs to my 6 yr. daughter, as you can tell she already shaved the grille

1969 GMC, the Longhorn is down for the moment, just installed a 500 CFM Holley carb last week and after I tried to fire it up, not juice, it's probably the starter selenoid, what's funny about having a 305 V-6 on it it's that guys at auto zone were so sure that my motor did not exist, they're like "there's not such thing as a 305 V-6" I bet a guy $100 that I could prove it by bringing the truck to the store, and behold, the guy saw it but he wouldn't pay

now when I walk in there he won't even look at me, now he knows better

It will be soon on the road again, I like driving that truck, long live the GMC's!

Cheesewagon · 07-15-2003, 02:02 PM

So you guys think the old burb isn't that rusty. I guess that how the wife, and kids see's it too. I had really had a good time sat. nite. That was really cool to see that many trucks of this vintage in one spot. It was nice meeting other board menbers, looking forward to Ohio meet in August. Latter, Mr. Wagon.

Longhorn Man · 07-15-2003, 04:07 PM

It's really too bad I didn't get a pic of the burb that was in our junk yard, the 1/4s were rusted clear up to the glass...I have no idea why the glass didn't fall out.
Typical ohio crap.
