New guy from Scappoose Oregon (no relation to Portland) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

edrification · 03-09-2009, 04:31 PM

Hey everyone, it's nice to meet ya. The information I have found here has already been a tremendous help. I've got a 1973 C30 DRW that I have had for years. But guess what, it's broke! I know, how do you kill a chevy? Well, back in the early '80's, it was used to haul four or five used cars at a time from central oregon to here, over the nearby mountain. Then it was used by a sandblasting and painting company in Portland. It would sit in the same spot for months at a time with 2000 pound sand pots in it. Then it was left to rot in the woods at a friends house for 15 years. Then I said " I'll drive it!" And I did, till about a year ago. It's time for a frame off restoration / 4WD conversion. And a dump flatbed. I will need your help in the coming months. Thanks for bein' there.
