First, Welcome to the ‘Bolt! I also share your love for a ‘52. I was able to find mine a couple of years back and shortly after found this forum. Great people with great knowledge of these trucks. There is a “Tech Tip” on Buying a Stovebolt, along with other articles that will help you get familiar with these old truck that will help in your pursuit.
