Before I was drafted in late 60’s I had a 49 3/4 ton Chevy truck , it had been hit so drivers door wouldn’t open so I had to crawl on from the passengers side . Had a six and granny gear (thank goodness ) I paid $50 for it and it had an original cap , which I found out later was probably worth more than the truck , and a visor w/prism .It hauled lot of firewood . We had a cold spell I didn’t know better so I set the emergency brake and when I went to drive it the next day it wouldn’t move . This is where granny came in , it grunted and growled but I got it into a heated garage to try and thaw out , took two days and an elaborate blanket/tent set up with more heat but got it moving again . My dad sold it when I was overseas.
Older now and started looking for a replacement . I had a line on a 50 and I googled how to read VIN #’s when I found STOVEBOLT , looked around and found some very good info , thank you . The 50 fell through but wish Dad would have saved the cap , visor and prism from what I am seeing
Tunl.
