I'm a recently retired teacher and have a small farm.
I joined Stovebolt.com years ago and have lurked off and on since, but never had anything worthwhile to contribute. I am impressed by how respectful and helpful everybody here is.
I've always been interested in pre-1955 Chevy and GMC trucks. I Started with a 54 1/2 ton Chevy as my daily driver in college in the early 70s. It has been 16 years since I drove an old truck, a 1948 Chevy 1 ton shorty school bus which I still have. I also have a 1938 GMC long bed 1/2 ton panel truck in pieces (they're stashed in the back) and an original 1950 Chevy 3100 which I bought at an estate auction in 2008.
Now I'm finally retired and our youngest is scheduled to graduate from college in March. My priorities have drastically changed. I've started the process of having a multipurpose 24' X 36' shop built. I've met a great bunch of old car/street rod guys who get together at the coffee shop on weekday mornings. They have been giving me advice on how to set up the shop. I am looking forward to working on old rigs again and driving them too. I plan to make Stovebolt.com a part of my new life.
