Looking good! Stop over at the other forums on the site and keep us posted on your progress.

First, I want to welcome you to the Stovebolt forums. You’ve made some great progress and it look’s great.

The HiPo forum, is right up your alley for questions.

I really like the color on your truck. Can you tell me what is it?

I want to join in and don’t want to to be in the wrong forum. Which one do I go to to report progress and post pictures? I have never been involved in a forum before.

Nice truck what part of Canada are you in . Is your truck a 1300 or a 3100.

Djg,

Here's the Welcome Centre that Phak1 mentioned.

Why not read a few of the posts in there and see what people are writing. The WC is usually a little about your truck and you. How you found it. Anything special about it. About you. Always want pictures there (actually as many as you can share in any place!).

To tell about what you are doing on the truck, we have a What Did you get done on your truck today thread in the General Truck Talk forum. That's a good place to get more acquainted with the site.

Of course, most of your truck questions will go in The Shops area. Try to post one question at a time. That way the question can be directed to the appropriate shop if needed.

And if you have questions about the computer or navigating the site, we have an IT Shortbus and it's a good place to post those.

Welcome. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it all.

I’m from Saskatchewan west central side close to Alberta border. The truck is a Chev 3100

When you click on the "date" in the right hand corner, it pulls up a map of the poster. (I just found that about two weeks ago. )

The link with the location that is also in right hand corner, but under "Posts:" is a different map and in my case, has some info about the locale.

This may come in handy as you connect with folks.

That was a color made for my eyes buy the paint shop. I wanted it as dark as blue could go so the next time I talk with them I will get the code. I think he called it midnight blue.
