The Stovebolt Site Forums Project Journals Project Journals 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Project

5/30/19: At this point, our truck is ready to put her on the road. We will be going back to upstate NY next week with our 1952 Chevrolet 3100 proudly in tow. I will register her in New York and hopefully work out all of the mechanical issues, some known and some I’m sure to be discovered. I’m so looking forward to driving her, taking her to a few car shows and general tooling around town.

Wintering in South Carolina, we don’t have a garage, only an 8’ x 8’ shed that is packed to the hilt with yard equipment and carpenter tools used to make repairs and improvements to our winter home. This leaves little space for the mechanical tools needed to do the some of necessary repairs that our truck needs. It also means the I am working on the grass with only a temporary 10x20 canopy for my shelter. Although any work under the truck is allot more comfortable with grass on my aging back, I’m also exposed to the fire ants that are in abundance here in South Carolina. In New York, I have a garage to protect me from the elements, a cold concrete floor free of fire ants and most of the tools that I need to perform these repairs.
