Well I have been a regular to the Gallery section for the past 4 years and now it's time to jump in and learn. What a great site to spend time in. I have had stovebolts since I was 14 when my dad geve me a 1956 chevy short box. He has had old truck fever for ever and i'm now very severly infected. Since that time I have aquired 2 art deco seires 1/2 ton trucks which im not sure of the year. This last christmas my dad gave me a 1957 napco sn 3a gvw 5400. I think that makes it a factory installed 4 wheel drive does it not? And my most recent purchace is a 1959 chevy apache 38 seiries. Is this a one ton or a ton and a half? Are there many 38 seiries trucks out there? Looking through the Gallery I dont see many. I also have a 1936 chevy coupe and a single axle short wheel base 1959 mack truck. I have just graduated from chiropractic school and very much look forward to getting a truck on the road. I will be putting pics up soon.

Welcome doc, I'm pretty sure that by 1957, GM was installing the Napco option at the factory. The 3800 series is 1 ton. Many of the restored trucks are half tons because they don't work them and the fuel economy is brutal on the heavier trucks. But some still work the old iron, hoists and all, which is great to see.

Greetings from the east coast and welcome to the Bolt. Sounds like you have enough projects to keep you busy for a while!!! Look forward to some pics and congratulations on your graduation.

Say, You didn't just graduate from Sherman Chiro. College did you??
If so you were only about 4 miles from my house!! I also go there to see Dr. Michael Hogue on a regular basis.
