Well Shazamm!
Luke "fonz8261" Stefanosky's 1948 Chevy 1/2-ton 5-window Deluxe , "The Heartbeat of America," was a feature story in the February issue of
Generator & Distributor magazine. A very good three-page spread.
Luke's been with us a long time. His "Heatbeat" has been
in the Gallery and now in
the Gallery Forum.We initially heard from Luke in November 2010 as he was beginning work on his truck. His first post in the forum in 2009, was in the Electrical Bay asking about the horn installation. Since then, he's been all over the truck restoration forums on Stovebolt, as he lovingly put this beauty together. He continued to update his story every year as he finished the details on this fine old daily driver pickup truck. Awesome and impressive.
From the last update to the Gallery page, Luke writes:
"The truck has taken part in the Old US-27 Tours the past few summers as well. This classic American truck has appeared in multiple Stovebolt calendars (2010-2011-2012-2014-2015), as well as in the 2013 Michigan Antique Festival calendar. The Heartbeat was featured in Vintage Truck magazine March/April 2015. This story about it, was been featured in the V.C.C.A.’s Generator and Distributor monthly magazine September 2010 and February 2012. Hemmings Classic Car magazine featured this story in December 2011. A newspaper article was written on the truck in the Mineral County Independent-News June 2011. It was the featured “truck of the month” January 2012 on the Jim Carter Truck Parts website."Guessing you all have seen this truck around then? Check out both stories.

Way to go Luke!
