The Stovebolt Site Forums Welcome! Welcome Centre New Stovebolt owner and smiling from ear to ear!!!

I just purchased a 1951 Chev 3600 10 days ago and just got it in my name and taxes paid 4 days ago.
I bought it from a friend who bought it a year ago and i always liked it. He needed some money so... i paid his reasonable price and now IT'S ALL MINE!!!
It had an older restoration and overall it in good shape. My friend changed the front and rear end to a six bolt wheel set up and took out a few leafs on the springs so thats why it sits lower.
He added modern radials, all new brakes, muffler, carb and some other minor things. It's still a six volt and i will change it to 12 volt later this year.
It does have poor door and hood fit but thats something i can play with.
Its starts, runs and drives fine so i am content to just wash, wax and maintain it for know, and replace a few minor chrome pieces and new valve cover and side panel gaskets and paint the engine.
I have added some pictures and i'm sure i will be asking lots of questions as i dig more into the truck.
This is my second "old vehicle" as i have also owned a 1962 Cadillac convertible for the past 29 years. The two of them together make for a strange pair, one being at the luxury end of the scale and the other, definitly at the utilitarian end, but i like them both very much!!!

Well i now have to figure out how to post pics, it seems this site is sligthly different that the Cadillac site i am on. Oh well, i will figure it out soon and add the pics of my new toy!

Welcome Cadee, just wondering whereabouts in Ont you are. It must be a lot of work to change out the rear axle, basically making it into a half ton. This is the place to be if you want to learn more about these old trucks, lots of different forums to ask in. Have fun with it.
