Hi Stovebolters!

I picked up another project, a 1948 Chevy truck. I got it from a kid in Giltner, Nebraska and his last name is Rudy -- so Rudy Giltner it is!

Here is how it looked when it bought it off of a Facebook site. It's a Zach's place there.

In this pix you see there is no tail gate. But we took a ride two weeks ago and found one along with a bumper and splash apron.

Here it is back at the house, the day it showed up in Mechanicsville NY. We have been busy gathering parts and trying to get everything under cover before the snow flies.

Here is a side view c10 chassis. We found this in the town next door to me, rust free, from one of the Carolinas.

Had a neighbor pass away and his son was nice enough to give me his old engine crane. I took it apart and brought had to haul it home in three pieces behind my little old s10.

We Picked up a new old transmission, too -- NV3500 -- from a C1500 Chevy truck.

The same neighbors son also sold me 2 Chevy motors for $100 -- one is a 4.3 V6 and the other is a 235 straight 6.
