Jack,

Glad you decide to join the 'Bolt! WELCOME shake

As Phil (Phak1) mentioned, would love to here about you and your truck. Oh, and we will pester you until you get some pics posted - haha! dang

If you run into problems posting pics, let us know and we will do our best to help you wrangle that cat into submission.

Next time you check in the Stovebolt, take a peek in the "Side Lots". Your indicated locale puts you in the Midwest Bolters Association (MBA) region. You can check on recent conversations and goings on in there and see who else is in our area.

You may also want to add a post in this thread Midwest Bolters Map if you would like to make your location known to fellow MBA 'Bolters???

Looking forward to hearing/seeing more about you and your truck! thumbs_up

You anywhere near Madrid? I have some family in that area.



Piling on here (it's what I do best cantlook ) -- Jason won't mind. wink

Jack, if you change your profile to include a town or even a county, the program will show a little map on your posts so folks can get a better idea of where about you are located. It's been fascinating to click on that link and open our old truck world, especially for Stovebolters who are not CONUS. ~~ And, welcome to Stovebolt. wave

I'm in the hopping metropolis of Chappeell. It's halfway between Sidney and Ogallala on I-80.

Thanks Jack for "adjusting" your location. Helps get some idea of where abouts people are. Especially us who are geographically challenged. headscratch And, we have a nice group of international Bolters who benefit from a little more info in that regard. I know *I* do when looking at *their* maps. thumbs_up
