Tophat here
Still learning to navigate.
Just got my first Stovebolt and it’s a big bolt 1950 4400 cab n chassis
Bought at auction running, driving, and stops by E-brake 😩
Got it home and since It needed a new floor for the cab. I decided to take it off the chassis, documenting all the bits and pieces bagged and tagged, ordered the new floor found a local shop that will replace it for me as well as the rotted out rear cab corners. Had all the sheet metal glass bead blasted I primed everything ordered all the new replacement parts all new rubber window seals door tracks will be ordering new glass. No concrete plans at this time as to what to do with the truck when I’m done. It’s kind of a boredom therapy release project. Truck has replacement 1954 235 Straight 6 4 speed with PTO. Has exhaust manifold leak from three cracks so I’ll be replacing that with a dual exhaust style.
Plans are a dark gray exterior paint with a light gray interior custom flatbed with wood inserts possibly TREX Recycled wood product instead of real wood still on the fence about that one. Any stovebolter in the Santan Valley area of Arizona I am more than acceptable to ideas and assistance
