This is my first post to this or any other site. I have spent countless enjoyable hours reading posts from many “bolters” that have informed and guided me since I found this site in the winter of 2008. I had recently acquired a 1954 Chevrolet ½ ton. (In Canada badged a 1300.) “Stovebolt”, what great site, so much information in a well organized, friendly atmosphere. I had passed through my hot rod stage in life and wanted to keep it mostly as delivered. The plan was to make it safe, reliable and use it as a truck. Unfortunately, the “while I have this apart I might as well clean and paint it, replace this, repair that” syndrome disassembled most of the truck. It did not leave the garage until Fall of 2017. Now I was afraid to use it as a truck for fear of scratching the paint. An all too common story. On the plus side that allowed me to justify purchasing a 1955 first series 3100 Chevy. A rust free California truck that will be made safe, reliable and as found Sea Foam Green paint. To be used as a truck. I would like to thank all of the people that have made this journey possible.
