1926 Chevrolet Superior Model Series "X"
1-Ton Utility Express Truck

	Brian Mueller "Repguy" Bolter # 5183 San Clemente, California

From Brian :

        Here is my new "old" truck for the Stovebolt Gallery. It is a 1926 Chevrolet SUPERIOR Model-Series "X" one ton Utility Express truck.

        I believe this truck was originally purchased by a rancher in San Juan, Capistrano in 1926. This truck has spent most of its life in California with about 10 years with William Pickus in Vista, CA and the last 30 years by Bill Garcia in San Clemente, CA. I purchased the truck from the estate of Bill Garcia.

        The restoration was done in the late 1960's and then re-done in 1978. It still looks quite nice.

        This truck has the 490 Chevrolet motor that is 21.7 horse power. These trucks came form the Chevrolet factory as a chassis, fenders, cowl, hood and drive train. This vehicle went to the Martin Perry Body factory to have the cab and wood work done.

        The motor has not been started in about six years so my first duty is to get this jewel up and running again.

        I have always wanted a 1920's vehicle .... so I guess now is that chance realized! I have already contacted some Stovebolters for some sources of supply parts and they have been most helpful.
