View Full Version : THE TIME IS NOW! Starting a Texas Chapter
MrBeast 09-03-2008, 01:22 PM Greetings Fellow Texan's! I am proud to announce that Spray Bomb and Myself, along with some help from Backyard 88 are getting a Texas chapter for the International Chevrolet & GMC truck club.
Now, seeing as how the great state of Texas is so large, we are going to break things down into local chapters so as that people don't have to make an Epic Lord of the Rings in Magnitude journey just to play with our trucks. Here is the map we are going to use.
http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e215/DigitalTA/truckclubmap.jpg
We are going to for now break the state into 3 sections, Southern, Eastern, and Western. We will make the divide for each section by the color on the map.
I will be leading up the Southern Section in Red, Spray Bomb will be heading up the Eastern section in White, and we have yet to find anyone who wants to take the Blue Western Section, so if anyone is interested, please step up.
If you are interested or want to get more information or add your input, please dive in here and let us know your thoughts. or PM one of use with your Email and we will forward you an Application.
Also I want to thank Spray Bomb for picking this up and running with it, he has really been kicking it in the butt to make this happen.

Keep on Trucking 09-03-2008, 05:27 PM I got my app in today. Looking forward to more. What do you all think is the plan from this point.
BACKYARD88 09-03-2008, 07:16 PM We'll get everything worked out soon. I'm going to call MrBeast in a few and see what we can work out over the phone.
gregfull 09-03-2008, 09:36 PM Looks good guys! We need to get this going, I'd like to see the 2010 NBM hosted by us in TEXAS!
Amen to that! I'm in.
MrBeast 09-03-2008, 09:49 PM I got my app in today. Looking forward to more. What do you all think is the plan from this point.
The plan is right now we need to get as many members together as possible, and then depending on where the greatest number of people are closest to, we need to have a meeting, and establish a plan, this will be our first annual meeting where officers of the club and positions will be decided. As well as the other club business such a scheduling of events, dues, and other such matters.
Keep on Trucking 09-03-2008, 10:25 PM Cool.
Can we have the first meeting in League City? That should be a pretty central location FOR ME. :lol::lol: Just kidding.
Keep up the good work.
MrBeast 09-03-2008, 10:36 PM Cool.

Keep up the good work.
Actually there is a good possibility that it will be in the Houston area. Which is good for me anyhow because I need to get up there and pick up some front suspension parts for my dually anyhow.
Spray-Bomb 09-03-2008, 10:40 PM But sucks for me :rolleyes:
Oh well, I can make one more trip to hell I guess

It is the National Board Meet, it is where everyone gets togeather for a big shin digg.
Spray-Bomb 09-04-2008, 10:52 AM And they are the bomb !!!!
I missed this last one, but I wish majorly that I could have made it :(
I totally think we need to step it up & have the next NBM here in Texas !!!!
All we need is somebody with enough land to park a bunch of truck bums on :D
Then we can sort out the rest :metal:

MrBeast 09-04-2008, 10:54 AM Is that one of the places on 59N?
I have no idea, I just searched for the image and found it.
I can build one like that though, I have the tools :D
Spray-Bomb 09-04-2008, 11:00 AM Yeah, but from what I hear you havent welded until you have welded with a old Hobart like mine ;)

Allthough my Lincoln Ranger GXT 250 suureee gets the job done. :metal:
Spray-Bomb 09-04-2008, 11:05 AM Was the 300 a I-6 ???
That sounds like a cool welder too, I need to go look for a pic of one :lol:
MrBeast 09-04-2008, 11:05 AM Was the 300 a I-6 ???

no, it was a shop welder, it was an AC/DC 300 amp, SMAW and TIG
Spray-Bomb 09-04-2008, 11:09 AM Oh, cool
My welder was Navy
MrBeast 09-04-2008, 11:11 AM Oh, cool
My welder was Navy
The Navy has always had some great toys.
Spray-Bomb 09-04-2008, 11:15 AM No crap
This thing has a chrysler I-6 that runs at 1800 RPM & produces 400 amps !!!
Thing ways a ton (maybe literally) & is built to last
I picked the thing up for $50 bucks :D
Just gotta go through it so I can use it :uhmk:

It looks very similar to a Lincoln S-200A which is also a good welder,
Is yours an AC/DC machine or DC only?
