I haven't been able to find another site where the folks are as knowlegeable (maybe I just haven't found the right one yet).
Just so I don't get into hot water, am I no longer allowed to ask those questions? | | |

To go along with Ralph's question, can I post a question about a Honda? I did in the past and got some excellent responses. But I don't want to cause waves.... Thanks, Bruce
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

Still - try and find a different forum on the web for S-10 specific questions; I'm sure they're out there. That way we don't have to make a judgement call - Chev trucks are OK, GMC trucks are OK, why not my '89 Chevy Corsica? Because it's a Stovebolt page for pre-1974 GM trucks. I will get complaints either way - some folks will complain if the topics stray past Stovebolts and I don't do anything about it, and some folks will complain if I do. The only right answer is: it's up to y'all to make it the right bulletin board for folks genuiunely interested in Stovebolt engines & drivelines. -Boyo

-Boyo Didn't do a serious search and know nothing about the quality of the site, but the first site that came up on a google search for "chevy s-10 forum" was S10Forum.com As Boyo states, there are probably many more.

#21272 09/14/2004 2:22 AM | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 428 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 428 | Truckedup says it's alright, Boyo says not. Come on guys, which one is it? I am not trying to start trouble here, but I need to know. I have tried a couple of the other sites and either got no response at all or very little. The folks around here seem to be more knowlegeable or more willing to help, probably both. | | |

This is Boyo's forum and what he says goes. Yes,there is a gray area -- but it's up to Boyo to determine where that is. My intent, as the editor of the site, is to create a site for pre-73 GM trucks. If we start down the slippery slope of trying to be all things to all people, we will lose our focus. Again.
Is there an overlap? Probably -- that's where the gray area is. Is there some way your '89 S-10 question relates to pre-'73 GMs? Could be -- are you trying to retro S-10 equipment into your Stovebolt? A ha -- there's where we fit. BUT -- if you have a problem with your '89 S-10 (that has no crossover to a pre'73 Stovebolt), then this really isn't the web site for that. And Boyo is the one who makes the call in here. If he says no, then it's no. So, the answer is ... No. Not to be difficult, just honest.
I'm sorry, but we have to draw the line somewhere and we draw it at the changeover from the 1972 to 1973 model years.
Good luck (truly) in finding your answers!
Thanks for understanding and supporting Boyo and everyone else who helps keep this site humming.
Regards,
John

I respect what you are doing here and didn't want to do anything that would be out of line, that is why I asked. Now that we have that all cleared up, let's get on with the stovebolt stuff. | | |

Maybe we could have an "Other" catagory for other makes and models of automobiles and maybe equipment like tractors and such. If it is "automotive" only, I don't think it would be abused. I'm always interested in modern machinery and would rather discuss it with "freinds" on the Bolt than go elsewhere.
Just something to kick around,
