Hello - I've been lurking for a while. I joined the site after I realized I was making a somewhat spontanious decision to join vintage Chevy truck ownership club. I've been a 66' Mustang owner for past 12 years...so this will be interesting - ha! I've learned a lot just from reading through various forums...reading the reader Bolt stories and checking out various links offered up by stovebolt.com. I look forward to being an active member.

A little about our latest addition to the family. It's a 1954 3100 std cab with 4 speed. Receipts that I inherited back to 1983 show it to have lived previously in Kansas & Colorado..don't know anything prior to that. It went through a restoration in 2006-07 which is holding up pretty good...though the color was changed from Transport blue to a "teal" color. I'm going to contact the shop that did the work (wheels of time - englwood CO)and see if they can confirm what color it was painted, as I'm not sure it's a 54' Chevy truck color. I need to repaint the tail gate and want to match.

Mechanically it needs to be gone through...it's not running right...suspect carb needs to be rebuilt at a minimum. Interior is presentable, but it wasn't painted in stock colors. PO hacked dash to put in AM/FM "8 track" player- ugh!...not sure what I can do about that.

I hope my link shows up...if it does...it's a pic of me and my 5 yr old daughter in the truck shortly after it arrived. She's looking forward to helping dad!

Cheers!
