hey boss, bigj and i are going to try and make the meet..woohoo but let me know what parts you might need for the 4x4, i got a few around here and would try and help you out if i can. lmk!!
jamie

Would be great if you can make it and we could meet again :)I can try to get some pics of the truck today to post so you all can see what we may want to tackle....lol.besides the tranny i think about all the trucks needs is some cab work and i have another partial cab here that has good parts on it.Has one large dent in the bed that i believe could be beat back into shape.It doesnt have a back bumper(hoping to maybe trade for one at the swap meet ) the tires are wore out and brakes are kind of screwy....lol.anything else you all want to know about it just let me know ok :)

Of course as always we will also be attending and bringing along over 1000lbs in fireworks
to put on around a 3 hour display of fireworks for night time entertainment.

I am about ready to give up on the idea of coming, two weeks ago I launched the tranny/clutch in the '68. This week we decided to get our water tested and it came back with high levels of bacteria, so needless to say the tranny money went towards the new ultraviolet light and filter setup.

I am working on my dad's buddy to lend me his little "C" class motorhome and still head down, just won't be as styling as the '68 with the trailer, but as long as I can make it that is all that matters.

Don't feel bad, the wife wants to come now, so that means with a camper, and my little 70 doesn't do too good with that behind it. So now I'm coming in the 04. But we'll take you any way you can James.

Don't feel bad, the wife wants to come now.

Oh crap, mine has flirted with the idea of coming, she has asked me 5 times
if your wife is coming and I keep forgetting to ask you, now I can tell her ;)

I think the more that comes the better...................And it doesn't matter one fricken bit what you drive.

:agree:

I'll have my wife in tow as well. I wouldn't consider going without her though;)

I wanted to drive the truck, that's the only reason why I was going to leave her behind. There is NO way she would ride that far in my truck.

Had an unfortunate incident last weekend that may prevent me from making the event.
Our club did a car show at the Daniel Boone home in Defiance MO last Saturday. On the way there I was hit in the rear by another club member whos truck suffered a ruptured brake line. I got shoved into the truck in front of me. Nobody injured thankfully.
Right now Im waiting for the insurance adjuster to show up. So, lots to do to get it put back together, I may have to back out of the event. The guy who hit me was also going to come down, hes talkin about not being able to make it either.

:haha: Same here :haha:

Not good: Bring your vette, or another ride. Got a few days to get the pick up repaired . more the 35 days.Sorry to hear the bad luck for the both of ya

:jdp: Dude that sucks :jdp:

We would still like to have you all come even tho you aren't driving your trucks.

Agreed, this can't be said enough. This will most likely be talked about more
than Indy (1st Board Meet) No offense to any who went but it looks like we
might have a substantially larger crowd. I am coming no matter how I have
to get there. I for one think it will be the experiance of a lifetime for all :cool:

You can still come, I'm not driving mine and I'll be there with bells on....and nothing else.

OK, now let me see if I can find that video of the hog slaughter.

Not being able to bring the '68 will not stop me from attending, the lack of money might though, but I am working 7 days a week right now trying to create a nice little nest egg with the overtime pay to be able to attend and pay cash for the gas.

Keep on fighting James and don't give up. Sorry life is dealing you such a hand. I'll be waiting to shake your hand when you get to Mo.

I wish you all the best of luck getting here if you can :)

Getting Closer:)Countdown to the meet (http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/customcounter.html?month=7&day=7&year=2007&hour=8&min=0&sec=0&p0=605)

Anybody going thru indiana and wants to convoy along.Im at zip 46070 and prob heading out early fri am..like 4-5am...hope to be driving the BIG tahoe but if gas goes up much more well be driving the wifes tahoe.Cant wait to meet you all there!

Thanks for the encouragement. My wife still really wants to come, which surprises me. So I think that I should take this opportunity and run with it.

OK...this is way too strange and eerily coincidental.

I live in Salt Lake City. Was not planning to come to the meet...but badly wanted to.

Of course as we all know...the meet is in Norwood, MO. I had no clue where that is...so I Googled it.

My wife just received a promotion at her company. She is going to relocate to Northwest Arkansas. She just happens to be relocating at the end of June...no doubt in my mind I can push this date to early July...putting me in NW Arkansas at the beginning of July.

There is no doubt I can take all her goodies to AR in early July and be finished before the weekend.

Norwood MO is a mere 110 miles (as the crow flies) from Bentonville AR.

Looks like I might be coming...sans truck...but coming nonetheless.

But is it 6th, 7th and 8th...or 7th, 8th and 9th?

6,7 and 8 seems to make more sense to me.

Yee haw.

Timcos,

It's Friday - Sunday, whatever those dates are :lol:

Yeah..look at this...first and second post titles...that is what confused me.

Boss, will we have access to water to fill our tanks in the campers?

Yes sir i have about 4 outside faucets here to use :)

:lol: He showers outside also :hm:

Test fired my buddys generator that we we're going to use at the meet yesterday. It runs 50 min. on a gal of gas w/ a 7 gal. tank. Gotta figure something else out, we might not be bringing this 7k generator.

I started a post in General discussion about working on BOSS's truck. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=242925

Boss I ran your address on my map program and it can't seem to find a box # address. Is there a cross street nearby so we can figure how far it is from the campground and how to get there.

drove through mt. Grove & Norwwod when we went to Springfield this weekend. I also wondered where your at from Mt.Grove.
We have reservations @ MT.Grove motel, drove by it, doesnt look like much, hope its decent, maybe shoulda made reservations @ days inn instead.

this one may work better and you can just zoom out if you like.

Boss one of those maps with an X where you live would be great.

I tried but it wouldnt keep as i clicked for the link...lol

pm me the directions from Mt G with distances for each section of road and what road and direction you turn on to get to your house. I will copy a map, put a red X on it and then scann it for here.

this will work with the links hopefully

so that road at the bottom of the red circle is hwy 76 then right?

Right sir

Thats better!!!!! Now, How many miles is it down 76 after you turn off of 95?

about 6 miles Sir :)

JUST GOT THE OK FROM THE PARENTS AND INLAWS TO SHARE DUTIES OF MY 5 MONTH OLD SO WE CAN COME TO THE PARTY!!!!!!:metal:
WERE STILL BRINGING MY 4YR OLD DAUGHTER.
CANT WAIT TO SEE EVERYONE THERE.

If we are coming we are planning on bringing our 9 month old. My parents and in-laws all offered but we want to try it with him. Probably once we have our second child we will travel with the older one only like you for the first little while.

I have a friend who owns a motel 60 miles or so east of the meet.

Colonial Lodge Motel

There is a thread in here for motel information. There should be rooms left.

Here's the link. I know several of us are staying at the Days Inn but there should stil be rooms available.

Wow, I just realized there's a whole section of the forum dedicated to the meet, this will make things a lot easier for everyone. Thanks guys(and gals;))!!

As of right now, no. Roxane was dissapointed also :(

Countdown to the Meet (http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/customcounter.html?month=7&day=7&year=2007&hour=8&min=0&sec=0&p0=605)

Roxanne was upset because she knows I've called Shotgun in the truck and there's nothing she can do about it. :)

Time until Saturday, July 7, 2007 at 8:00:00 AM (St. Louis time): 37 days.......Get ready BOSS..Everyone is starting to load up their trucks,blazers,burbs,panels...or what ever else they are driving.

I'm already Hungry :hm:

LOL funny you should mention that we were just talking about you in chat.....lol

:agree: :lol:

I think that I just might be able to make it now, but I'm still trying to finalize my plans. I have one problem though. I will have my pop-up camper, but don't have room for a generator. Anybody have any electriciy to spare? :hm: I don't think the wife and kids (or me,) could stand sleeping with no A/C.
