The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Preparing big bolt for The Great Race

I plan on entering The Great Race in 2016. My daughter will be graduating from high school and I like to do neat things that my kids will remember for ever. I have a 1941 1 1/2 ton stake bed. Since I have about a year and a half to get the work done, what can be done to make my big bolt as reliable as possible.

Thanks
Andy
