Previously the oldest vehicle I had was a 62 Chevrolet 1/2 ton with a small block and multiple 60's era muscle cars. This truck is a whole new breed of cat!

Welcome Tod, A number of us have an old 60s muscle car or two. Mine is a '67 Beaumont. As to your truck, you came to the right place. Be sure to check out all the forums and post your questions where they fit the best. Good luck!

I do travel all over VA in my work from Lynchburg-Harrisonburg-Charlottesville-Richmond-Tappahannock-NOVA sometimes all in 1 day. Also toss in an occasional Roanoke Rapids NC and a visit to Roanoke VA every 6 months or so to see my orthopedic surgeon.
Nope have not seen the homecoming deal yet

Check the forum. You may just be able to attend....and have a great time. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,436 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,436 | Tod Welcome to the Stovebolt gang. A lot of great helpful folks here and fun. The Homecoming is a great weekend and I'll be driving from Mid Missouri for my fourth time this year. It starts a week from this Friday. You can find info here on the ODSS threads. https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthread...inion-stovebolt-society-md-va-wv-dc.htmlDon't tell anyone, but you don't have to drive a GM truck to attend, they will welcome you with open arms and a weekend of getting dirty and learning. Don
