VA Beach Cruiser Hauler

mls57jax · 03-21-07, 04:28 PM

Men,
I’m looking for someone in the Lynn Haven Mall area of VA Beach that can size up a truck for me. Currently considering a low-mileage 2003 Silverado 1500hd for use in pulling a trailer and an FJ-40 (Cruiser content satisfied).
Prefer someone familiar with the Chevrolet line of trucks that will test drive and scrutinize this vehicle for me, and give me an honest remote viewing report. May also need a referral for a good, honest, local mechanic to give it the once over should I decide to purchase this vehicle.
I live in Harrisburg, PA and can be contacted at 717-679-1853 (cell). Thanks in advance!

PS Is Bill Baxter still live down that way?

It's been a nearly a week now and I've gotten no responses to this post. Plenty of looks, but no comments or phone calls. Come awn guys, what's up with that? I really just need someone to take a look at this truck and let me know what their opinion is about the vehicle. The seller has only one picture available and I can't justify driving 5 hrs on just that and their word.
You don't have to know the Chevy line, just call and act like an interested buyer and go to take a look. Easy day, right?
Pls lend a hand if you can.

I responded!! Really I live 100 miles away. Most of our members are in the richmond-Fredricksburg area.

Bill Baxter is still around somewhere??

OK, Matzell...I believe you. Honest.
Thanks for getting back to me, too! I was beginning to think there are no Land Cruiser owners in Va Beach but I know better. I've seen your license plate somewhere before. GSMTR possibly, or was it Coal Mine at Paragon? In any case, mucho-gracious.

I have been around a while. I know Gary Bell is down in the VA Beach area as well. I have not seen him in a while.

Good luck, If you go to GSMTR I will be there with the rest of the BBRC crew, stop and introduce yourself, we may have met.

Check the TTORA message board. There are a ton of guys from VA Beach that I'm sure would love to help out. There is also a local VA TTORA board as well. Post up if you cannot find the links from www.ttora.com.

Good Luck

I live in Hampton, but am currently out of the country untill mid May. If I were in town I would gladly help you out. PM 07TEQ. He is in Hampton and may help you out. He owns an FJ Cruiser, but knows the real Land Cruisers quite well too.

OOPS Sorry, I reread the 1st post. I thought you had a line on a Cruiser.
