Rusty,
Got my first Stovebolt (and the motivator to create this web site) -- a '39 1/2-ton Chevy -- while we were stationed at Ft. Ben Harrison (Indianapolis, IN) where I taught Journalism and was the CO of the Marine Detachment (first part was more fun). My boss, a USAF Major, had the truck and it was too much of a project for him so he offered it to me. We did a complete frame off in the garage in 2 years... and was mostly finished when we got the orders to Hawaii.
Did a bunch of VWs in Hawaii while we were putting this web site together and getting it off the ground. We've since sold the '39 to a then-active duty Army MSgt at Carlisle Barracks. Truck is still in the Gallery. Kevin next needs to sell the truck to a Squid so that thing can be a complete Purple suit truck.
My post Marine Corps career has seen the two '49's (3800 and 4400).
S/F
