Hi there- I'm 38 and live a little West of Portland. I've got a '69 C20 with a 396. Runs pretty good after changing the dist to an HEI. UGLY truck. Maybe one day I'll pretty her up. Till then, I haul with her. I'm a homeowner too after all.

welcome from portland! this is a great site.. I am kinda new too, but I have learned a few good things so far..

stllookn · 06-29-2006, 08:28 PM

Snew, Welcome from sunny Seattle! You have a bunch of great guys in Portland that are into these trucks as well. You will find this board a great resource.

screamin_c10 · 06-29-2006, 09:09 PM

Welcome from Yoncalla, Or
Movin' to Hillsboro on the 7th though

Maybe I'll see ya around...

Snew · 06-29-2006, 09:52 PM

I really hope so. Work bringing you? Drop me a PM when you get to town.

I've never really fixed up anything before. I love the thought of it and I love these old trucks so I figured they'd go hand in hand. I bought this truck with a bad distributor and swapped out the old points dist for the HEI out of my friends chevelle. I hadn't ever changed the distributor before but it sounds simple in theory and it really was barring a few things I hadn't thought of like the oil pump shaft preventing it from seating. Pretty pleasant experience outside where Chevy put the darn thing.

I need to see if anyone's talked about what I need to know. I know they have, I just need to find the posts.....

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Mongo · 06-29-2006, 10:29 PM

"welcome2: From Cornelius, OR. Look around and if you can't find it ask someone will point you in the right direction.

screamin_c10 · 06-29-2006, 10:30 PM

The wife and I start at Intel July 10th, so its relocation time

Yeah Chevy dizzys are a bit of a pain, but they finally got smart and put 'em up front. At least the engine bays are big enough to work in, live in, etc. LOL

I'll PM ya, maybe all of us Portland, Hillsboro, Cornelius, etc. guys can get together and have a beer

Welcome To The Boards From The Great White North!

Frizzle Fry · 06-30-2006, 02:42 AM

Yeah there's a good size group of us from the Portland metro. I couldn't believe how many came out of the woodwork when I posted about a free truck that needed a rescue party (it's still ripening on the vine by the way)

Have you seen my Burb running around? I see 67-72 trucks all the time around here. There's a few Blazers and a couple Burbs in town too. Welcome to the board!

krue · 06-30-2006, 08:28 AM

Snew · 06-30-2006, 11:02 PM

I've been there nearly 10 years. I'm in D1DR and things are looks pretty stable for us. I'm guessing you're in F20 if you're thinking layoff. I'm hoping that's just Fab pessimissim and not any real truth.

screamin_c10 · 07-01-2006, 02:16 PM

Half my graduating class (that passed their interviews) went to Fab20 and the rest went to D1D with the wife and myself. I had no clue so many members were/are from the Portland area.

can't wait to meet up with you and swap lies

Snew, D1D looks pretty stable? This is good. It's nice to see that it looks OK from the inside, at least in D1D.

Our UCC Intel ambassadors (Senior Techs) said that the layoff gossip is just that and is being fueled by the media and a few pi$$ed employees and stockholders. I guess time will tell

Nitro, hope to see you up there, we'll all have to bring the trucks to work, call it an Intel show and shine.

See you already made a bunch of friends here!!!
