Another Calgary Alberta Member

Just joined the site a week or so ago. Been too busy to get on here though. I livein the NW part of Calgary. Just bought myself a 94 F-150 Ext. Cab Longbox.



This will be my daily driver so I will not be getting too carried away with mods, but I am hoping to throw a 2" Front and 4" rear drop into it. But I can't be taking much $ away from my winter project....



61 Chevrolet. Lots to do.

Randy Thayer

I'm not much of a chebby guy, but it looks like you got a purty one there.

Of course, you got it right, use the ford for work, and the chebby can stay in the shop!

Welcome to the site.

The Thayer name rings a bell.

I'll have to think about it somemore.

The picture of the Chevy looks like it was taken in a yard along Crowchild (1a) just East of where Eamons cabins used to be.

That would be about Shagganappi Tr. & Crowchild TR. these days.

Is there anywhere else to buy aftermarket stuff for our trucks other than Mopac on 16th and Centre in Calgary here?
Fairly new to the city!

Lots of times it is worth it to shop online, just be careful of the shipping costs.

Princess Auto is my favourite place to shop. It is best when you dont know what you need. You will end up going home with four trailer hitches and some chain saw motors. or is that just me?

No that's me too

There used to be a truck accessories place on Centre street south one block North of 61 st ave near the chinook LRT station.

There are numerous automotive places in around Edmonton Trail:
The area between the 32 ave connector and center street ....40th ave ...south to 34 ave.

Just drive around in that area and you will see the signs.

Otherwise.. come up here to Innisfail here as we have: "The Truck Ranch" that sells all sorts of things for trucks of all makes .
