Downeast Johnny Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Really didn't figure this would happen. The site has gotten soooo slllooowww. It gets harder every day to find topics worth the time and effort. Oh well; The trucks are getting old and very few are original owner vehicles anymore. As BB King said "The thrill is gone".

zachm89 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Congrats! I seriously doubt I will ever get to 5k posts on this board for exactly that reason, it is so damn slow around here.

I started 8 years go but was pretty quiet for a while. The site was a heck of a lot more active beck then. Best luck in your search for a truck.

someotherguy Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) It's the curse of any forum that has a niche audience. Once the guys that bought them new move on, you'll see a lull, then you get the guys like many of us that got the vehicles later. Maybe see a lull again as newer trucks catch people's attentions, then years from now you'll have guys trying to restore some really beat, neglected SS's and practically begging for parts that we find difficult to source today...will be nearly impossible in the future, and this forum will likely be the only "go to" for anyone looking for info and parts.

Richard Good points Richard. Not a bad idea to buy and store some things when you can find them. Cladding, for instance. I guess that aftermarket will eventually reman some things but there will always be a premium on OEM stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
