Old members from the early days - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**72 Super** · 08-18-2021, 09:52 PM

I was just wondering about some of the older members that were on here back when I first joined the board. Just curious on how they are doing and are they still playing with these trucks? Here are a few that I remember :

Zkast
Longhorn Man
da Burb
68 Suburban
Solver
Tom Hand
Huck
Purs

I know there were more. These are just a couple I remembered off the top of my head. I know some had accounts suspended etc. Putting that aside still would be cool to know how they are doing???

**FleetsidePaul** · 08-19-2021, 12:03 AM

I'm a newbie. I've only been here 16 years.

I do wonder about Andy. He was a nice guy. I had a chance to hang out with him when he was in California. Then he just disappeared.

Who knows? People come and people go.

**special-K** · 08-19-2021, 05:33 AM

I wonder about Andy, the man in red. He just disappeared. I think I might know why. I wish he could come back

**Palf70Step** · 08-19-2021, 10:35 AM

Andy is big on FB and into Chevette's now. He is working a V6 swap on one. I believe 68 suburban just went away. Not sure about the others.

Andy was one of the members who helped me immensely when I had electrical problems. I hope he checks in from time to time.

**Ol Blue K20** · 08-19-2021, 12:56 PM

I was wondering about the man in red the other day. I hope he shows,up.....

**72afr** · 08-19-2021, 02:48 PM

Longhorn Man and Huck are blasts from the pasts! Man do I remember reading so many of their posts...

**too much stuff** · 08-19-2021, 03:44 PM

Just ran into da burb last weekend. He is a vendor for chevy truck parts and is doing quite well at it. Kevin goes to alot of meets and shows in the upper midwest.

67ChevyRedneck · 08-19-2021, 03:53 PM

I'm horrible with remembering names. Longhornman is the only one I can recall.

I do miss his posts, they were usually pretty funny.

Blue GMC · 08-19-2021, 05:57 PM

Miss Teeitup bought a ton of crap and a truck from him. I’m convinced he’s responsible for wild trucks being extinct in this part of the world

I think everybody bought stuff from randy. He does still check in once in a while here.
And you are right, he went through a lot of trucks!

CG · 08-19-2021, 08:53 PM

I bought some trim from him around ten years or so ago and its still in the PVC tube he shipped it in =)

**72 Super** · 08-19-2021, 09:11 PM

It’s good to hear that a few of them are still around and doing well. Like a lot of us I bought quite a bit from Randy over the years. It would be nice if we could get some of the old timers to check in here.

**special-K** · 08-19-2021, 09:53 PM

Da Burb had the Ochre rides.

**Ironhorse** · 08-19-2021, 09:54 PM

Met Randy (Teeitup) several times at the Lawrence Swap Meet and the old Sunflower Swap in Wichita several times. Really nice guy and sold a LOT of parts. Bought several myself and even sold him a few, LOL.

Another member from back in the day is barn9 or LB as he was known. Haven't seen him on here in some time either. He has a really nice 1/2 ton long bed, 402, red and white with the roof clearance lights.

I like to see that most of the ppl replying in here have join dates of 200x.

I just wanna let y'all know, I know I'm not the most sought-after old member, and I don't check in every day, every week, or even every month, hell even every year sometimes ... but I'm always available by PM or phone call if y'all need something. I know Liz and possibly Josh has my number if you're passing within an hour or so of Atlanta and need a hand, or just a beer.

**davischevy** · 08-19-2021, 11:08 PM

I joined in 2008 but didn't really participate for a few years because I was still working. There have been several people come and go that I can remember, but it looks like the die hards are still here.

The last time I talked to Andy (LonghornMan) was about 10 years ago. He was remarried and living in Hilliard Ohio, just around the corner from my sister and brother-in-law, right around the time ElJay passed away and JerryJones (his brother) stopped posting. I sent him a horn cap for his truck. He thanked me and I’ve never heard from him since

I remember in my early years here you helped people a lot with computer problems. I also remember when I was planning a trip to Pensacola to pick up a rolling chassis from Hart Rob ('06) you gave me advise on Atlanta traffic. I was also picking up a GMC grille from Stingray(?) in the Bell South parking lot downtown, at 6:45. I got in early, so avoided bad traffic. Heading south was against the commuter flow, so no problems. Anyway, thanks!

**oldiron** · 08-20-2021, 06:32 AM

I'm kind of a short timer myself.
