Hi,
Thanks for adding me to Stovebolt. I live in Nevada and rescued my great grandfather's 1929 Chevy 1.5 ton pickup.
I recently picked (5/24/15) it up from our ranch in Yerington, Nevada, where it has been sitting (exposed to the Nevada weather) since 1950. It has been in the family since 1929.
Most of the vehicle is complete! It has a broken universal joint, missing 1 steel disc wheel and is missing some of the handles and knobs. There are only 2 small holes (about the size of paper clips) where the cab is rusted through (mice in rear corners).
My dad learned to drive at the age of 6 (1946) in this truck. My grandfather would put him behind the wheel and put the truck in granny low. He would proceed to get into get into the back and feed the cattle while my dad "drove" in an open field.
Anyway, I didn't realize, until just recently, how rare of a find this is. I'll keep you informed of the restoration.
Thanks
