Howdy guys, long time no see haha. I have been tinkering here and there on the federal and have it back into decent shape though I need to redo some of my hackjob wiring and lap the valves, seats and replace the manifold and head gaskets. But thats not what this thread is about.

I just got my hands on my first stovebolt truck, and it just so happens to be a Big Bolt, my favorite type of truck. I saw it in craigslist a few weeks ago and kinda glanced over it, figuring that when I had money it would be gone. Well, low and behold there it still was. So I called the guy up and arranged to pick it up. Granted it is very rough, the engine is locked up and the floor is pretty much nonexistent but I figure I did halfway decent at 300 bucks when it came with an entire set of 8.25 by 20 tires to replace the ones that are on it.

So, how did I do guys?

passenger side floor, what there is left of it anyway.
