Hello Everyone,
I am the latest newbie to the site, but not to the hobby in general or these trucks in perticular. My Father started working as a mechanic in a GMC dealership in 1959. I was born in 1962 & my first memories of vehicles were of Gmcs big & small. All my years growing up we had at least one & sometimes many we worked on. In my adult years, I have had many myself.
I have been a restoration shop owner & single car transporter for 30 years. The shop has come to a halt, the employees are gone & it is now used for my toys & maintaining my trucks & trailers for transport.
I had the pleasure of picking up an OT truck at Achipmunk (Moderator Alvins) place recently. I could have stayed & shot the bull for hours about our hobby. I then took the truck to GMCJOEs place (another member) great guy with a love for our hobby.
I do not get a lot time to surf the sites, but look forward to spending some time here with the trucks I grew up with.

Bill, let me welcome you to the Stovebolt. It was great chatting with you for a while last Tuesday and wish you could have stayed longer.
For those looking for a transport Bill may be the man your looking for. Bill, be sure to make a post in the transporting section announcing your services and I'm sure Joe will do the same.
We look forward to when you can visit and welcome any wisdom you may share along the way.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile

Thanks for the welcome guys! Right at this moment, I have 3 Gmc's & a Chevy but none are old enough for the forum. I will be looking for another early 50s truck as soon as I finish a couple of OT hot rods I am building.
Alvin, I will definitely put an ad in the transport section, I know there are probably quite a few members that have already used my service.
I look forward to reading & adding some content to the site as well.
