Introduction.

Hey everybody, Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Kurt G. I live in Richland Wa.Originally I was from SoCal. La habra. I'm married with 2 sons, 14 & 9. My 54 was owned by my dad. He gave it to me in 2001. I had to scrape up an engine. I have a Y-block 292. The truck has more history than I do. Dad bought it in mid 60's. He was one of the original charter member for Pick-up Limited. I still have the membership plack. Go look at the 2 pictures I have of my truck. Let me know what you think. I'm getting ready to do a lot of work to it. I just missed "Cool Desert Nights" old yeller wasn't finished. Thats all for now. Kurt G

Talking

Once again...Welcome Kurt!

Looking at this thread, maybe everyone has Cali roots....I was Born in Norcal, Dad was a Marine, so spent many years at Camp Pendleton, and a couple outside of Barstow.

Being a military brat, and joining the military, I have been many places...How the Heck did I end up being athe CL for the Washington Chapter of FTE?....LMFAO

Well, it seems many of us came from Cali. I've been in Washigton for a long time but my roots are in SoCal. You know I'm begining to feel right at home. Thanks all. Kurt G.
