I just got some news I might be heading out to Alberta soon. Wanted to see who's all out there. Don't know yet if I'll be taking the truck out there right away or not but if I feel I like my new situation it may just become perminent and I'll have too ;)

Thanks,
Brian

I am just west of edmonton,If you are out this way just pm me and we could meet up

Just East of Edmonton here -- Ditto with Dean, gimme a PM and maybe we can go for lunch or something :)

I WANT to be in Alberta..does that count? LoL. Actually I will be in either Medicine Hat or Grande Prairie in Sept.

up north of edmonton

not as many in ab as ontario but theres still a bunch

I straddle the Sask./Ab. border.2hrs East of Edmonton.Let us know if you're coming through!

If I'm heading out there I think I'll be staying with friends in Calgary for starters...keep 'em coming!

I am protecting the northern border of Alberta.

Less than 1/2 a mile south of my front door is Alberta.

Lots of members here from Alberta, what part are you looking at?

Well like I said above looks like I'll be starting out in Calgary but haven't really been thinking about it too hard until I get out there. Once I'm able to get on my feet that could be another story. I definitely want to explore around when I get there before I settle down if Alberta's gonna be my new home.

But, but but.... We had plans to meet up this summer. I guess that we should put a wiggle on that then shouldn't we. Good luck on your move if and when it happens.

I will drive your truck for you while you are away, just leave it and a Petro Canada fuel card in my driveway.

James,

:but: It hasn't happened yet but yes it could very well happen. Even if I do go I can see myself coming home when I get time off and for things like the Barrie Flea Market. We'll just have to try meeting up then or sumthing. If I go I'll keep in touch of course, and I'll still be around the Board too.

Nice try on the offer to drive my Truck for me tho ;) I'd maybe let you drive it if you restored it for me first :lol:

If ya end up near Medicine Hat, let me know.

I am in Calgary.
If you want send me a PM when you get here.

Deuce and classicchev are in Calgary. Look us up when your in Cow Town.

I am just south of Calgary, just a quick burp of the throttle away.

Well I found out exactly where I'll be in two weeks time...OLDS. Apparantly it's about 25 mins south of Red Deer give or take? Looks like I won't be too far from Scott's Super trucks in Penhold so I may have to check that place out once I get on my feet. TTT...

Cool, not too terribly far away, only about 2 and a half hours :)

Calgary here... should be ready for some cruising or trips to the track by the middle of july.:metal:

I'm located in Edmonton.......

Another one in Edmonton...let us know if you come up this way.
I was just in your neck of the woods at the Three Hills cruise, last weekend.

Really? And I could have gone to that one. Is there some place to get info on cruise nights and the like around Alberta? I even missed a show they had at the Olds Golf Course May 24 weekend. Nobody advertises anything unless it's all over and wrote up in the paper. :rolleyes: My bad luck I suppose.

Three Hills is one of the biggest one day cruises in Alberta.

Take a look at http://members.shaw.ca/calgarycc/NWCC2006.pdf

Consider making the trip to Red Deer on the August long weekend for Rock'n Red Deer www.rocknreddeer.com

I'm recently new to Alberta too...I'm up in Olds....by Red Deeer. Where about are you?

Live in NW Calgary. We outta meet up sometime. We're only about 45mins away from each other.

Nice lookin rig Thayer :) I was tempted to take a run down to Calgary and take a look, but decided that the price tag from 4wheeler was a bit too steep, lol

Glad to see it went to someone who is gonna fix it up a bit :D

Yeah dude! I traded my cherokee for this rig. I am looking forward to this project. I have been working in the autobody industry for about 10 years now and this is the first major resto job I am taken on for myself that is. Outta be fun!

Yep good trade indeed. There are couple Calgary members around here as well, maybe they'll see this and chime in. By the way welcome to the board.

I'm a little tardy on checking the regional board, but I'm now in High River, and work in Calgary.

Saw a nice 67-72 truck running up 5th ave this afternoon about 4pm. Sounded healthy from my 9th floor office. Orange in color with 2 white stripes down the sides. Anyone here?

I work on 5th and 5th SW. Which building are you in?

I'm in Bow Valley Square 2. 5th ave and 2nd, I believe. We just moved from 9th and 4th a couple of months back.

I'm in Sherwood Park just of Edmonton

I'm in Bow Island along the highway between Lethbridge and Medicine Hat

hmm cant believe i havent seen this thread yet im from fort macleod/ lethbridge

I'm in Fort Saskatchewan just North East of Edmonton.:)

I guess I could somewhat be considered an Alberta member now. I started a new job in Provost about a month ago.

I live in Sherwood Park, which is just east of Edmonton.

Bump for the Alberta boys!

Haven't been around here for a good while since I sold my truck a few years ago. I'm back here lurking and thinking of picking up another for my kids to learn to drive in a couple years.

I just moved south to Lacombe (from Ft. Mac) and frequent the Red Deer downtown cruise on Thursday nights with my '66 Skylark. Maybe I'll run into some of you guys. Looking forward to the Three Hills meet this year - it's supposed to be one of the best around.

Are you working around Olds, Brian? Most of my wifes family is out here working now since the mill closed in Kenora. You will enjoy it out here. I would never move back to Ontario and the rat race, smog, murders........

Brian Brooks

I Am Also In Fort Saskatchewan. Three Hills Has Been Going Downhill Fast. Unless The Weather Is Awesome For A Week Leading Up To The Event Most Of The Cars Are Not Much To See

Yes, I've been working at the Shell Caroline Gas Plant for the past 7 Months. I am starting to enjoy it out here actually, but it could just be that I'm happy to be on my own for the first time too.

Still wish the summers were a bit longer out here but I'll get used to it. Hopefully I can get the Truck out here (or find another one) for this summer. It would be cool to go to some of these shows you guys have been talking about.

Brian

better make it out to street wheelers in july one of the best shows around

I agree I started going to Three Hills in 92 and stopped three years ago because it just wasn't the same. The hotel rates have really gotten out of hand too.
I might make it to street wheelers this year but the blazer won't.

I've seen both gkolmatycki and Chris27 before :D Cool to know they are both board members, cause both trucks caught my eye immediately, and both are gorgeous lookin' rigs!

Heck, Chris27's is the only 69-72 K5 4x4 I've seen on the road in person :D

Three Hills has it's up years and down years. It's probably still one of the biggest gatherings of vehicles in Alberta, especially for a one day event.
To me, it's an excuse to get out of town and enjoy a day with some buddies; the better half isn't much of a car/truck fan. ie red car, green car, that one's pretty.

im just hoping like hell i can make it this year ive tried for the last 4 the first three were transmission problems and last year had a friends wedding so this year im coming for sure

If I haven't sold the new Tahoe by then I might bring it down for a day trip

when is the three hills show any ways?

Umm, Dean, its in Three Hills ;) lol

I know I've said it for the last 3 years, but this year the K25 makes it, with my stepside in tow with a for sale sign on it...

ok when is it ?march ? may?

Hi Guys...personally I think Rock n Red Deer and the Airdrie Fall Classic shows are better than the Two Hills show.

I was at Rock'n Red Deer, and yes it was a good show, but the cost of entering was ridiculous( I was only there for Saturday, but they still wanted the full price of the 4? day entrance fee), that's why the 'burb sat in the parking lot.
I've never been to the Airdrie show, but would like more info, if possible; I like trying to get to as many shows as I can.

Three Hills has been an annual pilgrimage for me since '91, and I still enjoy going. I still see alot of the same faces and cars from years gone by. I still like it as a get-away.

I guess the Airdrie show is now a summer event -- August. Hotrods and Cool Cars Inc is a big sponsor, check them out at www.hotrods.ca for more info. St Albert is also a good show...over 500 cars. I think the St. Albert show is also in August. Check out www.rocknaugust.com for that one. I included a pic of Rock n August.

Here's a 55 from the Rock N August show...nicest Cameo I've ever seen.

Any chance that is the Cameo that Scott, from Scott's Super Trucks bought this summer?

There used to be a 58 Cameo at the show in St. Albert.

Yes that is Super Scotts Cameo
I used to be his yard guy and still go and hang out there.....

Flatbedchev remid yourself you aslo need to come and scoop those rims for your truck I still have em here for ya....
