  Welcome to our Virtual Garage for pre-1973 GM trucks -- If you're restoring, preserving or just driving an ole "Stovebolt," our "e-zine" has information we hope you'll find useful for living with your old truck -- from links to parts vendors (the best list of Stovebolt-related links on the 'Net!), a Gallery of old trucks to a virtual Swap Meet where you can find (or sell) those elusive parts to complete your restoration projects. We even have a discussion forum where you can ask questions, post ideas and even hang out with some old rusty Stovebolters!

We have a lot of things here but the best one is knowledge and we share it for free (no membership dues or pay-to-view).

So pull up a virtual running board, cop a squat and check the Gallery for lots of old truck stories. If you have some questions about the old GM truck project you are working on, try our FAQ, Tech Tips or jump right into The Forums, where the Stovebolt Brain Trust resides.

We've got everything in here from 1/2-tons to 3-tons, COE's, Panels and 'Burbs, Firetrucks, Tow trucks -- Lots of trucks in all shapes, sizes and stages of restoration and enjoyment.

Join us and make us stronger
Because none of us are as smart as all of us!

Video Feature

A nice ride back in time
A trip back to the 1950s

Vic Leger sent us a very neat video of a nice long drive down Hollywood Boulevard -- circa 1950.

Buses, cars, trucks, utility vans, station wagons, old signage, classic people, and vintage music. (And not too many people nor too many vehicles!!) Wouldn't you like to jump into that video and take a stroll down the road or hop onto one of the buses? That would be awesome -- if you make it, we'd like a feature story, please!

About 70% into the video, is this Chevy Telephone Utility truck in service.
 

John Sheally's 1939 Chevy 1.5-ton Grain Bed Truck
Spring is here!

It may not feel like it in some places, but the calendar says so. Be sure to check our Tech Tip about bringing the old truck out from its long winters nap.

This is John Sheally's 1939 Chevy 1.5-ton Grain Bed "tow truck" -- he uses the new old truck to haul his Morgan motor cars. Read the story in the Gallery.

 

 

The Whole Wild West Coast

Yea, yea. We knew you all were there. We just couldn't figure how three "little" states could take up 1300 miles of coastline!

So rather than figure any more, we just made a Side Lot just for you all.

So, go on and get in there and find out who your neighbors are ... even if they still are about 400 miles away! Makes for a nice long scenic cruise!

 

Visit The Forums - it's a great place to ask questions, share knowledge, meet up and read more stories of these old trucks.
