The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk New Limey on the Board

Hi Guys

Just bought my first ever "yank-tank", a 1963 GMC fleetside. No pics yet but I'll post some soon as I get her home.

She's in running order and completely original and I've no plans to mess with her yet.

Any fellow Brits post on here? I'm in West Wales.

Welcome to the board Ken. There are a few Brits here. I'm originally from Scotland but I've been in Oz for a long time. Post some pics in the Gallery when you get the GMC home.

All the best

Bob

Sorry mate got your name wrong. Welcome to the board KEV

Hey Kev welcome aboard. I'm a Limey too; very recently joined the 'bolt as I run a 54 1st Chevy 1/2 ton resto-rod as my daily driver. Also lived in West Wales for about ten years, in the hills near Aberystwyth, just outside of the village of Cnwch Coch. (What I'd give to hear the efforts of our American friends to pronounce these.) My daily driver there was a pro-street Plymouth Duster--wider than most of the Welsh roads. Then moved to California. For one thing the language is so much easier. For another it's heaving with four-wheel muscle and old Chevy trucks. Heaven or what?

Can't wait to see pics of a GMC among the sheep in wild woolly Wales. Bought it there or over here?

Let's hear from any other Limey 'bolters.

Oh--and be sure to check out the international section of the board.

Hey Kev -- Welcome aboard! As the boys have said, we have quite a few Brit Stovebolters here -- and like ohpants says, be sure to check out the International forum.

As long as you're checking out stuff, be sure to check out the rest of the site, too -- we have tech articles, links, feature stories, photo contests, classified ads... Well, we try to be well-rounded...

Anyway, we're glad you're here! Hope you like it!

And by the way, I have family ties to Wales (Liverpool is where the Millimans come from), but it's been a couple of hundred years...

Regards and welcome,
John
