Just joined Stovebolt, but have been an active reader for the past couple of years. 2 years ago I purchased a 53 3100 5 window that had been sitting for the past 10 years or so, Treasure Valley of Idaho. It is currently my daughters high school mode of transportation, by her choosing! All original 235ci 4 speed with the exception of 6v wiper motor. Spent the last year and a half with my daughter making it road worthy and is now a daily driver, body style early American rust. Will post pics when I get educated in that area.

It's cool that your daughter can drive a 4 speed. Not that many kids can these days, especially one in a truck. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 | Welcome. Your daughter will get a good education simply working with you on the truck. As Mark Twain once said, "Don't let schooling interfere with your education." Good luck with it, and hopefully you can have a turn driving it, too.

I'm sure there are other Idaho bolters around here so watch for them. Having your daughter as part of the adventure is just added joy. my youngest was 12 when I started the 37 and its still her favorite today even though she is 32. And believe me, she drives it like I do  You have a lot to look forward to and tons of memories. | | |
