What brought you to this website?

[1970 CST Short Wide]

That was 20 years ago, most days I can’t remember my name. I honestly don’t remember how I found this site but I’m Glad I did.

[weasel29gm]

Found it one day and never left. Parts bought and sold contacts made the best ever. Always enjoyed the humor of some and the most valuable knowledge that's here Close to retirement so hope to be on more.

Buying, selling trading and the love of these awesome trucks. My 1st was a 69 LWB with 3 on the tree at 14 years old. Been hooked on them ever since.

What brought me here? My computer

Why did I join? I was looking for info on my 1972 Jimmy 12 years ago. I found that information and a lot more. Best source of parts, information, and decent people that I have been able to find!

Oh yeah, 15 asterisks. That was a great place. Too bad it's gone.

You have me curious now. Can you space each letter so it will show?

[LONGHAIR]

I found it in a search for casting numbers for a small block. At this point, I can't remember whether it was heads or block though? It was for a '70 Nova project that I was working on with my brother. It was a resto-mod of a car that our grandmother bought new, but had an inline 6 from the factory.

Here's a tip... NEVER DO THAT!!! It doesn't go well.

Mine would slap me back into last week and I would get my memory back pretty dingdang quick.

I lurked for 15 years before joining. Was following the wonderful bunch that worked on Underhaulin' and Frizzle Fry on his Tahoe as well as others. I finally joined in 2016 trying to win the Truck of The Month in a contest that my beat up old '67 stepside qualified for. Since then I sold that truck and bought a '68 Suburban and also gotten a '35 pickup. I love this site.

By the third one I kept seeing websites listed in some Hemmings Motor News listings and decided to go look at pictures. I would see links on those sites and figured out how to check those out. 67-72 Chevy Trucks was one link I followed. I'd go to read threads and got the feel for it. It seemed I could answer a lot of questions being asked that were not positively answered, so I registered to be able to post. Before the internet I knew a lot of people here and there and all over who were into the same trucks. It was all word of mouth. Then I come here where we can all easily find each other and that's what makes this place so great for me. The general vibe is what has kept me here

I have enjoyed listening to you think out loud over the yrs so much it is hard to put into words. ... I went through the Big D, sold the house and have had Lots Of Misc since I found this site. ... I consider you an east coast friend and am glad I know you, ,,,,,,,,,thanks.

You just made my day. That is really nice to hear. I feel the same about being friends. And I do think outloud a good bit . I dream about getting my '67 built to spend my days driving around this country to shake each and every hand from here. We have a lot in common, eat, work, spend, sleep, repeat. I was married when I joined this place. I had it all going on. Sitting on top of the world it seemed. There was nothing I couldn't do because I made it happen. Things sure have changed since my big D for various reasons. This place with all it's good people has carried me through it all. Not even sure how much it's about the trucks or the people at this point.

I just had to go look, 2003! I was on some other forums, Chevytalk and Team Chevelle. My dad had his old Yellow truck, and I saw this place and joined to be part of another forum. Then in 2009, we got serious about fixing up his truck, and went to the Midwest Nats and saw the good time the Midwest Crew was having, and it was a big motivator to get it together and get in there so we could join the party. Life loosened up again, and in '12 we started the resto, and the Old Yeller thread. Spent a lot of time on here with the good folks since. Made some real life good friends and got to do things I never would have thought possible. Also a great place to store memories, since Dad passed at Christmas. Thanks for the good times.

I was 16 and bought my 78 pickup as my first vehicle while in high school. Needed to know how to make it more bad ass. I have no idea how I actually came to this site, but I knew I was staying once I got here.

I was a member on many forums too. Each one had its own reason. Funny story , I was banned off Chevy talk. One of the mods there was suspended here for a rule violation. I don't remember who did the temporary suspension, but to get even he perma banned me there. I never bothered rejoining under a different ID.

Were you around when it was geocities or after?

[LONGHAIR]

It always amuses me that there are members here from before Liz.
It really shows you the growth speed though.
She is member number 4476. joining in March 02.
I joined 26 months later in May of 04 and I'm 12212?

I feel like Liz wasnt Liz when she first signed on ... name change. And I sort of remember that Avatar she used for ages.

[LONGHAIR]

Yeah, I remember that, but I don't remember what her name actually was?
The change was a "thing" though. It's been so long now though, I'm not sure if it even was a "change" or she just started fresh with a new name? Thus the higher number?
Thinking about it, that can't be the case, I remember the change, so it can't be a fresh account.
TBH, I'm surprised that no one had asked about how I know what those numbers are. This was explained lonnng ago.

It was a few years ago. Never bothered to look at my member #. I just looked was surprised to see I was the #142 person to join the forum. Just hover mouse over the user name and the member number is the number at the end of the link that appears at bottom of page. As to why I joined, probably just looking for information on how to fix my truck and also interact with people that like the same things I do.

[Dieselwrencher]

If I remember correctly I was searching info on Longhorns and had found this place after being on Longhorn man's website. This place has lead me to many great people and places. It would be cool to have more get togethers like we did in the past.
