My Dirty Old Truck

[99Sierra2500]

I also encourage you to go to the Forums page and at the top is Introduction. Introduce yourself and since you had a shop, tell some stories and what you may specialize in, if anything. What other vehicles you have and where the hell do you live.

Plus, post pics of the vehicle(s). Thanks

Hi, I'm Bob, from West Lafayette, Indiana. I used to do general mechanics, started as high performance, racing, way to feed my own hobby, sort of then just everyone started bring me their cars because they trusted me. I have another Sierra, WT nothing to care about, looking to get rid of it. Here are some pics from today, truck's dirty, I don't know, pollen, salt, whatever. Used to take my family to this ice cream place by the park, been there forever. Parked in front of the water tower. Then at a friend's house.

Thanks, it looks cleaner in some of those pictures. For the usual maintenance stuff, needs oil cooler lines, a transfer case, front suspension rebuild, and down the road wheels and tires. Other than that just drive it, use it for truck stuff like towing or hauling.

Thanks, I like Covington, Veedersburg, that area, the trees, and Wabash river. Lafayette is getting pretty crowded, has grown.

Yeah, it’s too bad I can’t get Peyton’s BBQ down here. Used to get it when I lived in Indy but not much further south.

KC, Mo. is a BBQ town and my favorite is Arthur Bryant's BBQ. There used to be a legendary linebacker for KC Chiefs, Bobby Bell and he had some BBQ restaurants in KC that was really good, especially pork ribs. He passed and they closed up. Back in the early 80's.
Only thing I miss about not living in KC, Mo. is the BBQ. No bbq here to compare. Oregon.

Haven't been there in a while, still see it at kroger. We had a decent place here, South Side Smokehouse, though they went out of business.
