I am a telecommunications tech that has a [email protected]#$ Ton of work to do at my house. soooo.. I purchased a 1996 GMC 3500 HD Dump with the 454. needed some work, purchased the truck fairly inexpensive, so away I go.
Will turn 70 in a few months, so I'm only a part-timer anymore; working in the office of a high end Bosch auto repair facility, catering primarily to the Euro-enthusiasts.
Spent just under 40 years with an industrial uniform rental company, then almost two years of almost nothing, before realizing how bored I was. And when the owner asked me to join the Bosch shop, the invitation was grand.
Mt two main side gigs are home landscaping (my own; not others) and Studebakers. Ive been driving Studebakers for nearly half a century, and am down to four. Three have won trophies and one is a project.

Oh yes! I forgot to mention; my '98 S-10 is my newest vehicle, and daily dependable, with just over 224,000 and still all original including exhaust. It originally came to Pennsylvania from Texas, and it has been my primary for eleven years.
Hi guys... My name is Bob Dreyer (aka fxchopper) I'm a retired trucker, and live just north of Buffalo Yew York. Been driving Suburbans for the past 25 years or so. The only ones I can really afford though are already 12-15 years old, so they usually need some work that I've so far been okay with... I'm an old school mechanic, but don't much about these new fangled electronic marvels of modern technology...Glad to be here, and hope you can help me with some issues I'll have along the way. I have a discussion going on right now in [Suburbans] about a 3 amp draw in my radio circuit...
I'm 56 years old,and in great health, I currently am a heavy equipment operator for my Counties Road Department, I am the Chief of my towns local volunteer rescue /EMS Squad. I have been in Volunteer/paid emergency services for 39 years. Enjoy keeping my old GMC up to par, to pass it to the next generation.
Hey guys, I'm 20 so still relatively young, I'm a Ford Diesel apprentice at a Ford Dealership but trust me, Always Chevy, I'm still very new to the Houston area so I dont really do much. I currently have a 1997 Chevy C2500 with the original 350 small block, she was my first truck, and Is still my daily.
Well, the site allows the use of Facebook to register, and having said that, my user name may come up as "Deborah", when in fact it is "Chris"...So, starting with what I do..I co-own a BBQ catering company..have for pulling up on three years now, and due to the Corona BS..I'm watching it disintegrate daily due to us not being able to work or cater events when the restriction dictates no gatherings of more than ten people.
I used to own a race/performance shop building chassis' and engines, specializing in "Mountain" motors, and had a TA/FC for the last five years I had the shop.
Have owned numerous trucks over the years, and my overall bucket list of vehicles has shrunk over the years to only one left...the next car I spec build will be a 41 Willys Coupe with a 550ci / 8-71 blown hemi..wides in back, skinnies up front, just a mellow, conservative, driver to take to the 7-11 for a slurpie now and then.
I now have a 98 k2500 Suburban with a big block, a 77 k25 Pickup with a late model LT1 converted to carb, TH400/NP205 that just went into the shop today for a new cab, fenders, interior.
Favorite driver was my 67 435/427 4 speed Corvette...old brutal power and non power everything is the way to take a drive to the coast in my opinion...feel the car, don't just rely on gauges, and this car you could feel every pebble in the road, every RPM , and every vibration. I'll get some pictures together and post later
