Greetings from Illinois,
After dropping in on the Bolters as a guest now and then, my recent acquisition finally allowed me to register bonafide. I belong to a couple forums as I believe automotive sites to be invaluable resources the garage inclined.
Dad always said, "If you're going to own two vehicles - make one a truck." I've followed that advice most of my life and it proved to be sound. But the job required I use a company vehicle for the last decade - so no truck... But those days are over now! And I knew exactly what I was going to do - I now have a very stock '61 Apache, I-6, manual 3-speed, long box. She leaks and needs a little attention - but who doesn't? The last manual 235 I drove was in my high school girlfriend's Biscayne - I never forgot that car.
The proper manuals are on their way through the magic of eBay. In the meantime, I'll post any questions in the appropriate forums. I'm glad to be the latest member of the Stovebolt community.
Take care,
Jim
