I just wanted to tahnk everybody that has helped me. I am 62 and have always wanted to own an early model truck like my Great Father and Grand Father owned that I rode in as a child. That wish came true a month ago when I bought my 1948 Chevy 3100 truck. Although it was mostly restored when I got it, there were still things that needed to be fixed. Be a rookie, I relied on this forum for a lot of information and instruction. Because of this, I repaired the turn signals, heater, installed horns and many other items. Some one saw my truck and encouraged me to enter into their car show. I did, my very first show, was last Sunday. I wondered what I was doing there as every car and truck were muscle cars and I the only stock truck. Thanks to all of you, I won the Sponsor's award for best car in show. Thank you all

clhaney, I am a Medical Professional and have to inform you that you've had a dormat strain of a Stovebolt Bug for years now.

I regret to inform you that the Stovebolt Bug has become active and is virtually impossible to get rid of.

You have already showed symptoms of an active case, such as buying a Stovebolt, working on it, showing it off, and finally- discussing your truck on these forums, but now- you have won an award. This shows you've got it bad.

Congratulations. May the Farce be with you.

No kidding!! It has been a blast. Especially being able to work on things again. I worked on all my own cars up until the computer became the main component and they shoe horned the engines in those compartments where you had to disassemble half of the systems just to get to the part you needed to work on! I gave up, now I'm back!!
