And going back to the beginning Rob started the other list also. He gave up control and the list headed off toward modification. So he started another list dedicated to Keep it Stock. BTW this has been a periodic thread for the last 20+ years. Not much new has been added pro or con but it does stir the lethargy pot a bit.

Allen You can't be all bad if you have a 1950 John Deere A. Back in 1958 I farmed with a 1952 JD A. Wish I still had it. Bob Moore 1952 3600/5W In a message dated 2/21/2012 8:08:11 P.M.

Back in 1999, us old timers were on another list for old trucks the went all what Nate says below. Rob was one of the stockers and had the fortitude to start this list. I highly recommend that everyone go back to the main page for this list and Rob's welcome message from September of 1999, and read BOTH. >From the main page of this group: "Dedicated to the preservation and restoration of stock 1941-1959 Chevy and GMC trucks. KEEP IT STOCK!" and from Rob's welcome message: "The list is of course, intended to promote stock or modified enough to make them safe and able to handle todays traffic." and "My main reason for starting this group was to make it smaller, more cohesive, and devoted to AD stockers. However, I really don't have anything against the TF'ers, nor the Art Decos, as long as they are not heavily rodded. Even those I don't personally object to, but they are not my cup of tea, and if we all like ours stock, then a lot of the rodding discussions are wasted on us." Yep, I'm an old geezer and miss the good old days when we used to focus on stock trucks - that's why I'm here.

KEEP IT STOCK ! I don't think you alls are getting the idea here : Rob wanted this list to be for real truck enthusiasts , not Hot Rodders who pretty much destroy old trucks . " Stock " means (to me anyway) not automatically slapping in a V-ate mill , chroming averything , like that . My old trucks are certainly not restored but , they're largely stock , they're working rigs , fun too . I know for a fact that there are many Hot Rodders here who respect Rob's wishes and don't clutter up the forum with endless talks about Lokar cable shifters , blah blah blah... It's ALL good , just keep it sweet , pete . -Nate Mike wrote: > > I don't know what it means to Keep It Stock. I have had my truck for over 40 years and it wasn't stock when I got it in 1969. It's an old farm truck, and you know what farmers did to their trucks. Back in the 70's, you couldn't get parts for these things, and I had to make comprises to keep it on the road. It has a replacement engine but still a 216 and it's never been re-painted. It's about as stock as I can get it without spending a lot of $. > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!
