The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk What did you fork over for your 'bolt?

once me and my dad were on a backroad driving along and i spot a old 53 ford thats extremely rusted out in a guys auto body yard. i see a fence and as were going by at 25 ish i manage to look through and see something big and blue. a few months later we stopped by and i asked whats big and blue in the back there? this old vietnam veteran with his cane says "come along boy" and that is when i first laid eyes on what i now have. he at first offered 1500 which was a really good deal anyway but we left and eventually thought hmmm we need to buy this thing.. it was some kinda force driving me to buy this truck. so we go back and they guy says "yeah hell im gettin too old for this im givin this trade to my son" so we go back to the truck again and we ask what he wants. he then says "ah hell i was gonna throw this one out, take it for 400" and now here we are 2 years later with the engine about to get to start since it was parked in his yard over 12 years ago.
