New guy on the block

Hi guys,

Cool forum. (not too familiar with these msg boards) I just purchased a 1966 Chevy G 10 from the Chicago area. Hoping to have it delivered here in Orange Cty NY in a few weeks. I'm sure I'll have a LOT of questions afterwards, so I'll be talking to you. Thanks.

I forgot that it was listed in this forum:

Thanks G-Man! Yeah, I'm thinkng It'll work out OK. I have a band out here so it'll be perfect for that. I'm trying to be proactive so I can get using it right away. Are there any 'tricks' to keeping some of the heat out of the cab? Dynamat?

B

I'll go with that later suggestion! Thanks!
B

Hey thanks! Awesome idea! I appreciate it!

B

Definitely look slike the way to go! Thanks Mr. D.

Congrats and Welcome to the board Boss.I've liked that van you bought since I first came to this site.Great lookin ride !
Theres a lotta good folks on here willin to help in any way they can.

I'm looking forward to picking some brains as I get more into it. Thanks Moe.

Haven't seen it in person :-( But it sounds fairly solid. It came from FL and ended up in IL. It has a 350 w/3-on-the-tree. It looks and sounds like it's good to go and I can make imporvements as time goes on. He said someone had installed a pop-up vent in the roof that started to rust a little. The guy I bought it from took the vent out completely with intentions of filling in (welding) the hole. I may just put in another vent???? I think I bought it right enough that, even if it's suffering a little here and there, I'll be OK. Thanks guys.

Welcome to the site Boss!!! I think you got a really cool van and for a good price.

Thank you Mr. Fo'

I'm very psyched to get my butt a-vanin!

Welcome Boss , Great looking van .You wouldn't by any chance have a 55 chevy?

Hey Mike,

I did, a few years ago (a sedan delivery), and I just sold sold a '56 Chevy. Now I'm an early owner. There's a pic on the 55 sedan delivery on my bio on my bands web site: www.hotrodband.com. So this will make the perfect replacement for it. Thanks again!

B

That was one sweet ride . Always had a thing for 55s ,but then again I always had a thing for many vehicles

Thanks. But I hear ya. I guess we can't have them all, right? Talk to ya soon McFly.

Welcome Boss! I've been in South Carolina for over 20 years but grew up in Saugerties (and was just there yesterday). I went to HS with one of the owners of Sawyer Motors who sponsors a big car show each July. Working on getting my '64 Econo ready for next year's show (can't make it this time).

And oh yeah, I too play in a band and plan on doing this up with our band name on the side - mostly for advertising and just to amp up the cool factor (and make it retro to the late sixties). I'll be interested in seeing how you fix yours up.

Welcome to the forum boss....................nice flatty!

Awesome S-Man!

Sounds great. Yeah we'll be rockin' That car show in July, Then off to a park that eve in LaGrange. Maybe next year you can set-in with us? Definitely keep in toudh.
