I paid $5,000 for the Stovebolt.com Flagship ('49 3800 pickup) in 2003. Read the story on the truck in my signature line. Essentially, the truck is a time capsule from 1949 and I bought it from the original owners. Bed and sheet metal are pristine, albeit with enough patina to give it character. The truck is in it's "from the factory" original configuration -- all I've done to it is change the oil and add a second tail light. The tires are from the '80's I think but everything else is original. I know the complete history of the truck and can even tell you about the dent in the front P-side fender and the loop attached to the inside roof on the P-side. There is not one dent in the bed sides.

The only thing I worry about is the wiring. The brakes are even decent.
