New guy from NorCal

Post by kev »

Hey y'all,

I'm a transplant from South Carolina, and new to the site and forums. My grandfather passed away, and left my Dad his '71 Ranger XLT longbed. That truck is full of memories, and is going to stay with us for a loooong time. I was glad to find this site and see these trucks have a support community. I am currently finishing work on a '73 Camaro, but after that, I am hoping I can start on that truck. :)

Thanks!

A big webfoot welcome to ya...

Yer in my 2nd favorite part of the country...
I'm originally from Northern CA... Mendocino County to be exact...
Both of my brothers transplanted to SC and married Carolina cuties (sisters)
I have two brothers married to two sisters... talk about All in the Family... :thup:
I totally love the south, but could never live there.
I've lived on the west coast to long to change horses now.
Every time I go to SC, I get lost... the ocean's totally on the wrong side.
When people there give me directions like "head west for two miles" I always go toward the ocean...
It would be whole alot easir if they just moved the ocean to the west side of SC.. Problem solved... :loco:

There's lots good folks on this forum and lots of great info...
Just don't belive anything that TheeMc says about me...
he's my brother, and it was probably a whole lot worse ... :lol:

take care,
KaptnKAOS
Washington...The land where rust is like the family pet...Ya learn to live with it and clean up after its mess... KaptnKAOS

Kev,

Sorry to hear about your Grandaddy. It is cool that you all got the truck though. Good luck with it and post up some pics when you get the chance.

Again, Welcome!
