[Chevylover]

:rolleyes: Hannover, Germany 2000 Km to the european westcoast, form there about 6000 Km to the US East cost and than about 3000 Km till Texas ? :confused:

Sorry, it would be a pleasure to come, but 11000 Km one way seems a little to far for me !

:D Have Fun ! :D


Cu,
Sven

[Garth J]

You would get the longest distance trophy for sure...Garth

[tempocrazed]

I'm in West Fargo, ND. I'd go, if we could make it a more centeral location that would be great, but if not I'd be there anyways.

And on another note I'm buy a 98 Chevy Sub. 6.5TD to replace my totalled 96 1/2 ton 6.5TD.

[Chevylover]

You would get the longest distance trophy for sure...Garth

:cool: In this point your're definitly right ! :rolleyes:

What the trophy/price for the longest distance ? When it "pays" my fuel costs and the shipping (because the truck can't swim), it would be a possibility to think about ! :D :D

Cu,
Sven

[stumppuller]

i,m from near ottawa ontario.

[gmcsmokesblack]

everyone i have tons of land we could get all the 6.5s together and hang out and also raise hell!!!

[hraney]

I am about 2 hours from you; up close to Texarkana.

[bulldogchance]

Well is there in one in Arizona in this group.

[6FiveTurboDSL]

Heck yea , I have a rout up around Texarkana, every now and then. I'm a merchandiser and distributer for Miller lite. Heck its nothing to drive up there...Id'e be up for it if you ever get a chance..just being able to see and talk to someone who had a 6.5 would be great. I mean heck we got a few around town here, but they are mostly work trucks for who have them and they dont think anything of em..I think it would be great to least meet up with somone who had an intrest in em... just let me know something, and by the way anyone else close by just give a reply and id'e be glad to try and make it your way 2. As for the others, we should try and have a meet in the middle of this good ol' USA....maybe find a spot around the Mason Dixon Line and relive the good ol days. J/k..but im sure we all got plenty of good stories to tell and besides i would sure be up for seein some other 6.5's that have been built up...I know mines not yet, but heck i like getting ideas.

[6.5 on da bayou]

I'm from southeast Louisiana, 1 hour south of N.O.( Home of the soon to be Superbowl champ SAINTS.....lol...)

However, I would actually have to have a Dually that runs for more than a few miles in order to go anywhere to meet anyone. Its a sad time when you can't trust your good ol 6.5 to even get you to work in the morning

Maybe later on

[6FiveTurboDSL]

hey man, i live about 45 min. away from Shreveport..I live in Texas of course, but i drive there about once or twice a week to go to Bass pro shops...anyways, how far away are you from there... ? ?

[6.5 on da bayou]

Probably close to 5 1/2 hours from Houma to Shreveport.

[6FiveTurboDSL]

thats lil farther than i thought....guess ill have to see bout making that trip...who knows maybe it wouldn't be so long if i didnt try goin through Shreveport, and i headed strait down from Longview.

[fasair]

I live in North GA but I would be there! Dragnasty where abouts are you in GA?

[DragNasty]

Im in SouthWest GA. 45mins from Alabama, 45mins from Florida. About 3 1/2 hours south of Atlanta.

[DragNasty]

Probably close to 5 1/2 hours from Houma to Shreveport.


Do you know Duck or any of those guys in Houma?

[6.5 on da bayou]

Duck, Craig, Eli, Jason, Scooby, Josh, Launchpad, Randy, etc. The list can go forever. I use to show a mini with Bad Ass Designs. I took one trip with duck to NOPI in his 97 4 door dually diesel pullin his 7 1/2 inch body dropped nissan and I had to have one. I found a 95 4 door diesel dually and scooped it up. When duck was in Down to earth, our clubs used to travel and show together. They are some crazy dudes. Who and how do you know them?

I dont know them personally. I go to shows all over the southeast. Duck's dually after he painted it blue is what made me REALLY want to build a dually. Ive talked to him a few times but wouldnt consider him a "friend". He seems pretty kool. I know of Scooby too. But never really talked to him.

[tempocrazed]

Anyone in ND, SD, MN area? I seem to be alone up here.
Also, when we do decide to get together I hope Walt would be able to make it.

[farmboy56]

Gotta love the midwest-Omaha Nebraska. We got Bass Pro Shops, Cabelas, and Scheels. I got everything i need here. I would be down for a road trip if it were in the midwest some place. A good central place would be Missouri

[John R]

i,m from near ottawa ontario.

sounds sweet ! except i have some issues to deal with first! my flustering on trying to get my 6.5 going caused me to forget to take out my code reader before trying to start it (while trouble shooting a no start system) so now im not sure as to what i am all going to have to fix and or replace! Ouch!

[tempocrazed]

I think if were going to get together for a rally of sorts we should find a more central location. Maybe someone knows someone or something like that of somewhere we can all get together.

[smoken]

[Husker 6.5]

Lincoln, Nebraska. But I flew down to Houston in Aug of 04 to pick up my truck. I bought it off of E-bay from its second owner. 1st owner was from East Texas. Took me almost as long to get all the way across Houston from where the truck was as it did to get to the south edge of DFW from the north edge of Houston. So my truck is from your neck of the woods!
