Hello from OverSeas

I am not new on this forum. I have decided to join after going through some of the threads and learned alot from you.

I currently own a 1981 GMC stepside, after having couple of '74 & '85 K5s in the past 12 years. I & couple of my friends run owners gatherings around the area too and exchange our experiances.

For thoes who don't know these parts of the world, locals are big fans of GM trucks (especially pre 1987 Stepsides) w/BB motors.

Glad to join U guys & hope to learn more.

Howdy!

Is it a long bed? I've seen a lot of pics of the step sides in SA, seems like most of them are long beds.

Short Beds are kinda rare over here.

Welcome Ghazi. I haven't talked to him in years now, but I have a 2nd Cuz who is retired US Army Special Forces. He went back to Saudi and works as an Independant Private Security officer for some kinds of officials over there. It's been about 3 or 4 years since I talked to him. He does come back and hangs with his ex military buddies in North Carolina, USA for 2 months out of the year.

Hello HotRod
I've ran to some guys here, who are intereested in square bodies.
Had great chats and got some great tips too.
If he is in this part of SA, ask him to look for the Ice Blue GMC :)
