Welcome to Stovebolt, Josh!! It's great to hear that another young man like me (ha, I'm 64) is interested in saving another piece of America's past! Looks like you've found a 51 year old Stovebolt that is in pretty good shape. Seems like most all the parts are in tact and the rust issues are minimal plus low mileage! Good find!
I enjoyed your Blog along with your enthusiasum. Looks like you've mapped out a pretty good plan about what you want your truck to look like. You will find plenty of help here at the Stovebolt for just about any problem you run into. Just ask!! There are so many talented and experienced people on this forum. Someone, somewhere here will lead you in finding an answer to what problem you may be trying to figure out.
Just an early word of caution. Be very thrifty during your restoration process. Some parts and be a bit pricey, so make sure you always search for the best deal before shucking out what could be a lot of dough.
Achipmunk mentioned to you the Southern Stovebolt gathering coming up this spring. Try and swing by even if you don't have your truck running. You'll meet alot of other people who also love these historic trucks!
Congratulations and good luck!
