From Mick :
Mickster here, outside that old garage. Last week before the snow, one lite bulb sure shines in that stainless! (The Mickster actually sent this to us in January ~ little late; little surprise 
~~ Editor)
Here is what the 'Bolt look like now ... in yellow! Ii made a stainless steel liner and the guys think it's awesome. Here's a larger picture of the bed.
We will see.
Later,
Mick
Wow, man Mick ... you've come a long way. No wonder the "brief" brief! Hope to hear more about what you've been doing! ~~ Editor

From Mick :
Mickster here. This is my 1947 second series Chevy 3/4-ton. I found this in a pole shed while looking for parts with a friend for his John Deere tractor. And tractors we found -- 30 of them -- all John Deere's. This truck was tucked away and all in pieces. [ pix ] A mere 500 bucks later, it's mine.
So, she's sitting in an old farmer's garage that I had cleaned out. He told me I could use the place if i would watch the place for him (he is 85 years young). He was my Dad's friend. We had a large dairy farm and this fellow had his "little" 60 acres. So, we always helped him out when he needed help. So, in the picture, you will see an old farm, a one car garage, one light bulb, and two outlets to work from.
We just got six inches of snow some my time working on the truck has come to a halt for now. I will send photos in progress soon.
As for the doghouse, I think I built them -- I didn't tell her for six months.
I have been fire fighter for over 20 years. We've got big GMC's for pumpers and tankers. One of our GMC pumpers is for sale. It's a 1969 GMC 9500 series with 11,500 miles on it. It's like new! Would make a nice car hauler for some fellow Stovebolter. 
Just make an offer.
Looks like you're staying with the tried and true "stovebolt" six as well? Has your honey seen the truck yet? I bet she loves it, if not it'll grow on her. They always do! Keep us appraised of updates in your progress. Hey at least you didn't bring home a half dozen JD'S. ~~ Mike "Burgandybolt" Allen, Stovebolt Welcome (Panel) Wagon
