Two Ks in BBQ - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**special-K** · 12-07-2011, 10:56 AM

Yesterday was a rainy day,though warm for December (coulda been snow). I had some mostly inside work but really had a hankerin' for some BBQ for lunch. I hadn't talked to fellow member Olblue60 for a while and gave him a call. Where I'm working is down closer to him and even nearer to a place called Urban BBQ where his friend manages & tends bar. I got a hold of Olblue and he was actually just coming back from up my way,and we decided to meet up. I was in my '72 K2500 and he was in his '68 K/20,so I thought I took the opportunity for a photo shoot. Just two good ole 3/4t 4wd daily drivers sittin' outside a BBQ joint on a dreery December day. I guess you could say it was a mini board meet,right?

That is a photo of America!

**RenoKeene** · 12-07-2011, 11:01 AM

Very cool! I really like the look of that GMC of yours.

**D.PASSMORE** · 12-07-2011, 11:17 AM

I wish I would have never sold my '68! Darn!

Thats kool! Is this place any where close to Annapolis? I'm there all next week for a DOD conference.

Good BBQ can make your day!

**leddzepp** · 12-07-2011, 05:10 PM

Nice....now you just need to drop the tailgates and have a few beers!

C/10 King · 12-07-2011, 06:15 PM

Sh#t for BBQ I would have drove over there! Very cool photo!

jrdv · 12-07-2011, 07:45 PM

Wish you lived closer.........there would be 3 K's there!

jeremy zander · 12-07-2011, 07:55 PM

**allchevy58** · 12-07-2011, 10:57 PM

Very cool. Glad I don't have to put mine away for the winter.

dan42 · 12-07-2011, 11:07 PM

Nothing like getting BBQ with a buddy. Did he trade front clips on that truck or put the '69-'72 trim on his pickup?

CG · 12-07-2011, 11:20 PM

Cool pic, like the flag in the background.

68 SHORT-STEP'N · 12-07-2011, 11:58 PM

You just don't get much better than that !

This "joint" is in Sandy Spring,MD,not real close to Annapolis. The only place I know to suggest down there is Red,Hot,and Blue. They have great BBQ and have blues playing constantly. This place is a sight. Whatever directions you get,go past it on US50 (going East) and come back to it,so you get a good look at it on the right. This location used to be a pancake restaurant and looks like a windmill. Now there are pigs on it! Google it for directions and enjoy

Dan works Mon-Fri till 5. Just make sure you're with Olblue60. Those two have known each other since they were 4,so he'll make it worth the trip!

I feel the same when I see what others on this site are doing around this country. Like the other day,I wish I was there to help get you away from that water tank. That looked like FUN!!

He bought that truck out of Western Kansas as you see it...and tweaked and tweaked and now it's right. It's a '68 body on a post-72 4wd frame. It's original paint,so it never had trim till Mr. PO put that 69-72 on. Olblue60 has it how he wants it now and rollin' with it.

I thought that was neat,too. It's like the Hot Dogs,Apple Pie,and Chevrolet thing (or was it Baseball in there somewhere?...McDonalds?),only BBQ,Beer,and Chevrolet (I mean GMC

). I like the Ford Explorer hood (early '70s truck) hanging on the wall,too. No comment

BBQ oh boy!!!! thats just the perect recipe for me.......

Good old trucks being used.....

Shyguy · 12-10-2011, 11:19 AM

Great pictures. I really like to see these old trucks being driven.

pickupman · 12-10-2011, 11:46 AM

have never seen pics of his truck. i think the 68 would look much better down here in va with mine

**special-K** · 12-10-2011, 11:50 AM

Driven and worked. He had just hauled some body parts for his Panel up to the body shop and I had just unloaded 16' 2x2s off the rack at my job. I have been restoring,customizing,modifying,and/or just fixing up these trucks real pretty for a long time. But,now that about all you see are garage queens I'm kinda going the other way. Something about just a good old truck to drive around is a great feeling. I hope to make this one nice,of course,one day. In the mean time I just use it,which I'll still do once that happens. I've always treated my trucks with care no matter the age or condition.

Yeah Bill,that's just what you need. One just like that.

Man,I'm gettin' a hankerin' for more BBQ

**Boog** · 12-11-2011, 09:56 AM

Ummmmmm. I'm reading this at 7 AM and it sounds great! Good BBQ is good any time of day.
