Thanks it is a very good looking rig if I have to say so myself. ;-)
But honestly, there are many inspiring stories and trucks on the Stovebolt web site that one can't help but want to bring them back to life. I have been inspired by those who came here before me as I search back thru the old posts and look at the pictures to gain knowledge and inspiration (and sometimes even courage) to tackle my truck. It hasn't been easy but I've been lucky. There have been many folks who contributed to get the firetruck back to a better than new condition and I can't thank them enough.
I think they all look great no matter what state of restoration including those just getting started and those that are finished or the daily drivers. Example: I saw a 1953 3600 this morning in Vinton, Va that was just sitting by the side of the house and I couldn't help but admire it. I even slowe down to take a better look... I don't even know if it even runs but it still brings joy to me and hopefully its owner.
