Anyone from SoCal, Let's get some info on members and parts going...
Dano

Los Angeles here....... building a 66 c10 shortbed 292 3 on the tree. Bagging and chopping. Striped down to the frame.

Allright! anymore trucks from SoCali?

Question? If L.A. and Ontario are So Cal, what do you call the Imperial Valley where i grew up? Upper Baja. L.A. has always been known as southern Cal. Doesn't make sense though does it. Any way Hello from an ex cali homeboy from Newport NH. johnj

San Diego here

Torrance.

:) Inland Empire here.

I'm in San Diego County. I'm looking for an after market A/C recommendation for a 69 C-20 Chev P/U I just bought.

Palm Springs here

Hawthorne... South bay... thinking about starting a local club of some sort for weekly metings and /or cruise nights.

I was thinking of a SoCal club meeting in Orange Co. so LA and San Berdoo counties could be involved. Maybe just a once a month or every other month so members could get to know each other and trade, buy or sell parts etc. Maybe some kind of So Cal network. Find out where members are and find a location central to everyone.
Just an idea.
Dano

Maybe somewhere like "The Block" at the Orange Crush, or maybe Downtown LA . Just thinking of places. Anyone else interested?

I will be willing to organize (attempt)

let me know what you guys think.

At night I don't think traffic would be too bad. Maybe someone owns a pizza joint with a huge parking lot. Maybe a weeknight 7 pm or so, or a donut/coffee shop early on a saturday morning. I think truck guys would like this idea. Anyone interested start responding to this thread so it can happen.
Thanx cojnit for the response
Dano

I just know that this is agreat resource if nothing else. It has been very sucessful in my 4 wheeling club, and I think it would be nice for street rides. Everything I find is so far away from me. I just feel like I am the only guy in LA that needs help now and then, and I end up spending way more than I know I should be because of it.

I am in sunland, and am working a resto 1980 stepside.
I have a 4x 4 rolling 76 for parts.
needs to go soon.

I am finaly returning to cali! I grew up in Indio and moved to Wa. Military. Now I am coming home and am going to Santa Maria

wow Indio, I grew up in Holtville, just south of ya. Did alot of trucking up your way hauling dirt. Miss the desert. Remember when the Salton Sea was clean? johnj

I was there from 84 to 98 and the Salton sea was never clean (thanks Mexico). what company did you haul dirt for? I have been around truckd all my life, and my dad is a heavy mach. used to be at Valley rock.

Santa Fe Springs here

Hi. Mel in Azusa checking in.
Wrecked my 69 Suburban and waiting to see from insurance if I need to repair or replace.
As far as a get together I recommend the Pomona Swap meet. Easy for most to get to, no traffic to fight, food and drinks available etc.
Second choice is Fuddruckers in Pasadena on Saturday late afternoon. Mel

As far as what they call the Imperial Valley, I think the word HOT is often used. :)

Checkin' in from Hemet...

hey dirt burb, do they still do truck and tractor pulls in Hemet?

Nah, we're all city slickers here in Hemet now. The tractor pulls are now at the speedway in Perris, about 15 miles down the road.

Inglewood

Super duck we used to haul for Massey sand and rock.They sold out to Granite Construction. We also hauled for a company out of Salton City. Aggregate Products. Most of there stuff went to El Centro area. Yeah your right, the Salton Sea is really bad. I remember back in the 60's the Corvina that come out of there would weugh about 20 lbs. Now it's so poluted it stinks. Such a waste. If you fly over it you can see the pollution flowing in on the south end. I like to tell people back here about the dinosaurs up in Cabazon. They don't believe me. LOL johnj

Finaly Back and loving it!!!!!

Ontario

San Diego here. And I can't believe that Hemet is now a freekin city. So much for open land any more.

I'm in Claremont ...I'm new here, just got a rough 70 SWB needs lots of work. This site is very helpful...

Welcome FleetsidePaul. If you need a hand working on your truck, I'm in Ontario.
Dano

Thanks Dano, help is always a good thing. My Brother in law is a mechanic and I usually call him for advice when working on cars, but I haven't been able to get ahold of him since he got caller ID.

Los Angeles/Gardena border.

santa clarita here. athough i have my projects scattered in palmdale and the san fernando valley

have a 70 shorty 2wd my pops drove from Guadalajara and 72 2wd Blazer, I'm gonna need all the help I can get, great site, I'm kinda new.

Montclair ..... (blowin cover) :D

The Pomona swap meet sounds like a cool idea for a gathering...lots of room to park for car/truck clubs, once every month or sometime every other, already there to shop for parts...or maybe because its only minutes from my house. :metal:

in point loma building a swb 71 looking for a fleetside bed the truck down to the chassis rite now its been notched powder coated and bagged ,drop spindles up front and lowering blocks out back tubular upper and lowers as well have a 350 for it saving to have the heads built turbo 400 with a kit i have a lot of body work to do and i was thinking about turning the truck into a unibody and but i still have to find a bed

Pomona is the 16th my brothers. I'll drive mine if I can get her roadworthy which will probably not happen, I keep shooting for Pomona as a target to get my truck going but still end up taking my D.D. Either way would like to see/meet board members, just dont beat me to those NOS parts.

Wildomar Calif here. . . .

If you're going to Pomona this weekend, maybe put "67-72chevytrucks.com" and your "username" on the back window of your truck and hang-out by your truck when you're not shopping. I don't think we could save an area, unless it's at the back of the parking lot. Anyone have suggestions? I'll be there early (6am - 10am or so) in my multi-colored 69 c-10 beater, but have to leave early for a family bar-b-q.
Dano

I will be wearing my 67-72chevytrucks.com tshirt because I doubt I will have my truck running good enough for the pomona traffic jam so if you see me just throw a hubcap at me or something. 6 a.m. OUCH!!

Cool Fleetside! I guess I will put a paper with "Dano69c10" inside my windsheild since the cars/trucks will be backed in their parking spots. I was going to say that I would have on my Angels shirt, but half a dozen guys will have those on too. Anyone else making it out there this sunday?
Dano

Please post wtb in the classified sections.

Sorry about having to edit your post, but that's the board rules. You can check the truck for sales board there's usually a few for sale ranging from full on projects to show trucks. Welcome to the board and we're glad to have you.

Long Beach, Ca. here!
If, you guys do get together shoot me a e-mail at huero12@msn.com

Hey Huero - I'll check in too since you brought back this 2 year old thread. San Diego right here!

Nov 10, 2007 at Mission Bay in San Diego? I can do that! :cool:

Nov.10th sounds good to me....Ill spread the word for that date. A full on potluck and or just bbq and meet/greet as you please? Im more than down to bring some meat and sides to the event.

Hey guys! New to this forum, but would love any tips you have to spare! Did the meetings ever get organized?

Hey neighbor, LA/Gardena border here. Checked out your Cardomain pictures of your truck. You got skills. Clean 55 210 also.

Hey Inglewood, CA over here and its nice to see all you Cali people.
Kabwe, those are amazing pix. I wish I had the time/equipment/location and/or skills to do that kind of work on our truck! Great details in the pix and the comments. Amazing stuff.

Im in West LA myself guys! aye but are all of us getting serious on the Nov. 10th date? and is Mission Bay in San Diego good for everyone and or should we hold it a little more central for everyone?
