I have been here a week or so, thought I should introduce my self. I live in Encinitas all of my life. Then things changed in a hurry when Uncle Sam thought I should spend 4 years in the Navy '64 - '68.
I grew up on Dad's farm. I was always taking things apart, then finally figured out how to put them back together.
I had a lot of vehicles in my past, but will stick to Chevrolets. My first was a 1934 Chevy car. then a couple '55s. then a '57 pickup. My fist new car was a '65. Those are all gone.
Now I have Dad's '54 6400 1 1/2 ton Chevy flat bed. Dad use it on the farm. It has 100 k miles of a hard life.
The truck has been in a shed all it's life.
I inherited a '65 C 10, and a C 20 from my brother, slong with his '56 Chevy car, and '69 Corvette. along with a few no name vehicles.
I am getting the motors running in the trucks, along with 8 flat tires. after setting a lot of years. Both trucks need a lot of attention. I have a weed mowing business I do in the summer time cutting fire brakes.
That's my story, and I am stick to it.
