From Todd :

I have two Stovebolts. This is my GMC. It is a 1962 long bed Stepside with a commercial 305 v6. Until I can afford a real paint job, this is a Poofcan paint which ironically is the same exact color made by Rustoleum -- "American Accents Peacock Blue." The wheels and caps are off a 1963. Clip wheels here are so hard to find. I use what I can get for now until I get them gathered up.

I bought this truck in Bremerton, Washington and I am slowly getting it together. It was a flatbed when I bought it and I finally found a bed for it a year later.

I prefer the 6 bangers, Stepside, no plastic, no radio. Strange, I'm sure, but that's just me. I'd rather hear the putt of a 6 banger.

My other Stovebolt is a 1961 Chevy Apache 10 Short Stepside.

And since you do allow "other old stuff" ... here is my 1961 Ford F-100 long step which seems to be very rare now. I have the correct grille for it. The photo shows a grille from a 1963. As with all my trucks, it too is a 6 cylinder I have been collecting parts for it for about a year now. I still have a few things to get but it's mostly complete. I am hoping to have it running this spring when the weather gets warmer. I am at the mercy of being a shade tree mechanic.

Thank you,

Todd
