Hey everyone, help me in welcoming WHITE ON RICE to the Nebraska chapter!!

 

Welcome to FTE and the Nebraska chapter, you have joined one of the best bunch of folks here, hope to see you around the forums.

 

Welcome to the forums! Great bunch of guys here, but you gotta watch our for the Chapter Leader, Pat. I think all the radiation gets to his head!

 

Thanks for the welcome, Ive lived in omaha all my life so far. however Im leaving for the navy in about 40 days. No idea were exactly Ill end to be honest, but probably not around here.

On another note im looking for a pair of 73-79 doors so if you see some let me know. Some guy had a pair for 50 bucks on cl tried and tried and tried to work with him to set up a time to get them. He never got back, and I texted him yesterday and he scrapped them along with the truck............................this scenerio is getting old.

 

Well, being a fellow Omahan, and a Navy vet, welcome aboard! Maybe if Randy stops by, he may be able to help you with the doors. He's got a yard out by Chapman, NE. I've gotten a lot of goodies from him!


What are you going to do in the Navy? I was an aviation hydraulics/airframe tech.

 

Well right now Im simply air crew, hoping to get airc awr, which is tactical air crew but we will see.

 

I was stationed out at NAS Lemoore, CA. I worked on A-7 Corsairs. I miss wrenching on planes!

 

my recruiter had your same designation and says volunteering for recruiting was a mistake as he also misses it. But im fairly certain he was stationed in washington...or just really likes to talk about how washington is the best place ever.

personally im just hoping for a florida or cali post, nice for the most part year round, and being by the beach. Thats half the reason i signed up for the navy was being on a coast(or a good likelyhood anyways) Well that and family tradition.

 

I almost went to Florida, out of A school in Memphis. I had a choice between A-7's, and P-3's. Decided I wanted to play on Carriers. Lemoore is DEFINITIVELY not one of the Navy's better places to be. Closest major town, Fresno. Ug. Tried to get orders out, but I could only get orders to an F/A-18 squadron....at Lemoore.

 

BTW, got any pics of your truck?

 

As for the 73-79 doors, You could try calling some local yards. Ours here, in Beatrice, are usually pretty slim pickin's. Elmer Saathoff just got outta the junk business, so he crushed everything, including a few parts trucks I was going to canibalize. Could try Catlans here in town, or the yards in Fairbury, Wilber, or Crete. I know its a ways away from you, sorry I couldn't be of any further assistance.

 

ill try and take some tomorrow im trying to get my hands on a sound system to put in it, so if i get it i might wait to take pictures till i get it in.

 

no worries i was going to swing by the south u-pull it my buddy said he thought he saw a couple dents over there.

 

Best of luck to you! There were a couple of dent sides in Elmer's lot, but like I said, all crushed now

 

Hey, if you go by there, check and see if they have any bumpsides in there, I need some goodies!


BTW, can we get your first name? Nice to know who we're talking to!
