Hello John, Congradulations!!!!! She's a real Gem! I read with great interest and enthusiasm for both you and LaNoche. These old trucks bring a lot of us together in many ways. In my experience it introduces us, as newbie builders, to a very specific culture of very talented and creative people. For sure the Stovebolt site, is a blessing, to help us get through our projects.
As you mentioned in your fine article, its all worth it!
Finally our Truck is finished and everything is working well after a 6 1/2 year complete frame off build. My wife Kristy and I have registered our 1951 Chevy pickup to do a cross Canada Tour in 2017. Presently, we are building a replica of a vintage Teardrop trailer, for this trip, and hopefully many others.

Perhaps we could show you around a little. One of the highlights from July 10 to 13 here in Moncton, NB is the Atlantic Nationals. over 2000 vehicles (lots of very cool trucks to see)

So many nice people drive these old trucks. Take care John and LaNoche and may the future bring you many more adventures and miles.
