Thought I would introduce myself after joining yesterday.
Name is Vince and hope this is a support group for those addicted to cars and trucks.
I own 15 things I need to pay DMV for, a very understanding wife, 4 kids and 1 old dog.

The stovebolt that brought me here was my 66 K20 custom cab long fleet. very original California truck. I will post pics this evening when I get home.

Thanks for having me

Welcome Vince, I used to have 4 kids and a dog, now I have 4 dogs and a kid. I guess I still have all the kids, they just don't live with me any more.

Welcome Vince, sounds like you got quite a fleet there. So, does this truck need a lot of work? Lots of help here if you need it.

Hi Vince welcome,
Just think of this place as a Betty F*rd clinic for Stovebolters.
Help is at hand.......
We look forward to the pics.

Thanks guys, i will study the ITshort bus as time permits and get those pics posted, i think all will enjoy. it has original paint-basically a barn find that wasn't in a barn!

I already have a question; How many keys for these trucks? My ing. key(small squarish) does not open the door?

Cool place you guys have!

66K20, thats a good question for the Paint and Body forum as not everyone visits here in the Welcome Centre.

I THINK you should have TWO....but those who know will be along later. Maybe a moderator will move this to the Paint and Body?

Looking forward to the pics. Sounds like a Good project. Oh, by the way, I'm jealous of you having that many toys smile
