The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk My Gramps 51

The other day I took a pretty close look at my Gramps 51 1/2ton. It belongs to my brother now and sits in a chicken coop which keeps it nice and dry and out of the elements. It is as nice as I remember it. It is bone stock except for turn signals. It has never been modifyed in any way and is in really good shape. I'm still amazed that it looks that nice after all these years. There are only a couple of dents or scratches on the entire truck, I mean it is really in prestine condition. I started looking around and found the key and it started right and purred like a kitten, it's interesting how smooth it runs. We got snow the next day or I would have liked to take it for a drive. Next time I get a chance I would like to take a polisher to it with either wax or some polishing compound, I bet it will really shine, the paint is in excellant condition. One thing I did notice is that it has no rear bumper, my brother said it never did, did they come that way from the factory. Dave
