Hello from another new guy - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Yell'r69 · 02-20-2007, 05:20 PM

Just bought my first real truck last week. It's going to be sitting at my brother's house in Texas until the weather gets nice up here in Cleveland. I've been reading alot of posts from everyone. Sounds like I've found a great bunch of guys with a ton of info.

Welcome to the board from South Mississippi! That's a good looking truck!

Yell'r69 · 02-20-2007, 05:58 PM

I forgot to add that is has original paint. It should clean up pretty good. I just need to get the glue off from were the vinyl top was and buff it out. Oh yeah, my brother in Texas has a '71 Jimmy in the same color. My other brother out in Phoenix has a '71 Blazer and a '69 Chevelle SS396 conv.

Yell'r69 · 02-21-2007, 04:12 PM

No wood, and that's one of the areas I haven't decided what to do with. Wood, spray on liner (Rhino), repaint or ?

welcome from east texas pinney woods/ (spring Tx/school )

Hoods69BadBowTie · 02-23-2007, 01:20 AM

Hey welcome to the best board around from MT. Sweet looking truck you have.

Yell'r69 · 02-23-2007, 10:14 AM

Thanks for the big welcome. Hopefully my brothers should be joining in soon. I got the word out to them.

My plan is to keep this truck as original looking as I can, while making it perform like a sports car. With the resources and knowledge here from you guys, I can see my dream has been made more attainable and maybe a little more inexpensive. I don't want it to look OVERHAULED, I just want to get interviewed by Dennis Gage.

Keep up having fun.

No matter what it cost.

You don't know what might happen tomorrow.
