Hey guys I'm kinda new in the bolting world and was just looking for local guys with bolting experience. I am about a year into my first ownership of a 49 Chevy 3100 pickup. I am making good progress turning this thing into a daily (Wisconsin) driver.

Anyone who is in Wisconsin that is willing to admit it I would love to chat with you and puck your brain as needed.

Thanks for reading!

Hey Paul (miltown) here I'm in Milwaukee ,truck is in St. Nazianz , have a '51 3600. More of a work truck. Meet a guy in Kiel this weekend by the name of Benji that has a cool '36 1/2 ton. I have a little knowledge on these trucks if u need some help. More mechanical skills than knowledge of every little detail about these beauties. Welcome and remember when you get frustrated to just enjoy it. I know that's hard cause you just want to drive and use it.

Another Wisconsin Noob, here on Stovebolt as well!

I'm Justin and just brought to Kenosha my granddads '37 1/2 ton from Wyoming.

Glad to see others so close.
