Heading to Vegas tomorrow, so probably wont get a chance to post much until Sunday.

Dano69c10 · 05-28-2009, 04:30 PM

I'll be there!

1964C10 · 05-30-2009, 11:32 AM

San Marcos (north county SD) here. Hope to see you guys and gals around sometime.

Kex · 06-02-2009, 01:18 AM

SoCal ping, guys!

2008 was a disaster for me, for lots of reasons, but I'm going to be checking in again on a more regular basis now, if I can. Thanks to VDOG for keeping things going all this time ... I'm sorry I wasn't able to help.

Anyone interested in any kind of encounter near La Crescenta/Montrose/Glendale/Burbank/Sunland and I'll be there if I can, even if it's just for ten minutes, or whatever.

The 1994 K1500 Silverado (short bed, step side, ext. cab, 5.7L, Z71 and tow package) is still going and still towing the trailer, at just over 190K miles. I'll probably be dropping her with a new mechanic on Foothill Blvd. for service this week (a few issues going on that might leave me on the side of the road if I don't do something about it).

Greetings to all, and good luck with your truck!

Dano69c10 · 06-05-2009, 12:01 PM

Any more details for the upcoming meet at the Smokehouse BBQ?

VDOG · 06-05-2009, 03:16 PM

Hey guys, im on right now. Working on the flyer, the 29th is still on in fact im heading there tomorrow to check on parking.

VDOG · 06-08-2009, 10:46 AM

This has its own post, check out the California section.

Thanks for the support Kex. Now as before if you put a meet together, we will show up. We just need a date and time, and giving enough notice, the more trucks that will show up.

Thanks for the heads up, I forgot all about it. Im sure a few of us will be there.

mclairmo · 07-31-2009, 12:45 PM

I'm late to this thread but here in San Diego. My 68 C10 is not currently running but my 67 Camaro is ready to go. My truck's getting a new intake, carb, HEI, water pump, fuel pump, front suspension etc. Should be on the road soon. I'll be at the Poway Transmissions car show with my Camaro on September 12, 2009. Check out MotorHeadMadness.com for more info.

joe1982 · 10-12-2009, 06:29 AM

whats up oceaside here

VDOG · 10-12-2009, 11:34 AM

Gentlemen:
Whats going on, Its been a lil quiet in here other than the San Diego people.
I'd like to know how your truck projects are coming along. I'll start it off, mine im losing intrest and due to the economy, money is short. Even though im not alone, everyone is tightening there belts due this economy, but since I gave myself a 3 year goal, I will be 50 so if my truck is not done or close, it will be sold, parted out or junked.
Thats my issue, anyone else?

1964C10 · 10-12-2009, 12:19 PM

Vdog, I can certainly feel your pain as far as money is concerned, but that is not stopping me from having fun doing stuff for my truck just that my plans might need to change and that I need to be more creative making/doing stuff. Now mine is never going to be a show truck so the only 'standard' I need to live up to is mine which is easy lol. Why, set the goal though? isn't working on the truck supposed to be the major part of the "journey" or are you looking to just get it done and then cruise with it? That's cool too but it might leave you itching to do another one later on lol. Anyways my little sappy words of encouragement, dont't give up, don't sell it, don't junk it!

If you dont have one already, how about starting a build thread? it's free and I am sure you got a camera right? I know I always enjoy reading other people's build and learn alot too! Just a thought

Thanks for the words. yea mine is not going to be a show truck neither, but I have owned it for almost 12 years and it seems like its never going to get done. I like working on the truck but my body is telling me other things.
Somedays are fun others are frustrating. I have a few post on what I was doing but I guess I should put them together. I also still need the truck so I cant just tear it down for now, probably why im frustrated.
But thanks for the encourging words. Im still in the game for now.
