Cosmo, what a great story! Thanks for telling it.
I came across this from the
About Us. I had gotten a bit of it wrong in the earlier post I made above.
Stovebolt.com originated in the Fall of 1995 when John Milliman created this site as a project to learn web site coding and design. With old truck input from Barry Weeks, the site started out as just an information site for 1939 and 1940 Chevy trucks. One of very first Bolters was Don "Down2Sea" McLendon. In 1997, Tom Brownell, then editor of Vintage Truck Magazine and author of "How to Restore your Chevrolet Pickup," suggested we expand the site to cover more models. We created the basic site layout still in use today, albeit greatly expanded! In 2000, we added an interactive discussion forum.Does anyone remember when the site was just part of aloha . net / ~ skipper (or something like that)? I tried to pull it up in the Wayback Machine but I guess that was too long ago and such a very small pebble in the Info Highway.
