It was originally titled as a stake bed and spent its life confined to a farm in upper Michigan,in 1996 it made its way to fla and the last time it was tagged.
It was listed as a complete truck which was what first drew my attention,we know how that goes.It was complete except for the missing parts.At some time a po removed the cab and reworked the frame and cab bottom and did most of the body work.I think they lost the steering wheel because it rests on the drivers seat and looks like a model A straight column.
I got it running after bringing her home but gear shift will not go into gear but it does have all the engine shields in place and came with many extra parts that are not needed.
It has no stake bed now but I will construct one for her and she will be put back to work daily as she was designed for and be hauling equipment for me.
So even after reading most of all of the posts here I do have some questions to ask .

It may have some problems but it sure looks pretty straight as for the body. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Your at the right place. Heck, there's even a forum for one tons. Just ask your questions in the best forum and members will help you out. Great folks here and tons of knowledge!
See ya around the garage.....and oh, watch for other bolters in your area. Fla. has quite a few bolters and some may live just down the road. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 | Welcome, 46oneton, looks like a good candidate for getting back together. Feel free to ask whatever you need to know. Be sure to have fun with it.

I have a 38 1 ton.
We have several other Stovebolters scattered throughout the state.
Your truck looks like a great starting canvas.

I am adding the first question in the one ton forum,I have a list but it has been cold by Fl standards so not much done in the past couple of days and next week it's off to the turkey rod run in Daytona,maybe I will find some bits and pieces.
