The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts '"Tater"'s Back!!

This is CRAZY!! The guy that bought my truck,for $5,500.00 came over Saturday,while I was waiting on the phone call about the KB3. He wanted $4,000.00,by Monday,or he was going to "run it across the scale",and take his losses. I called a friend,who likes the truck about as much as I do. By Sunday afternoon,the price dropped to $2,000.00,and sold at the sight of 15,100 dollar bills. Now it will be put to good use,and not sit idle 11 out of 12 months. It developed a slight problem on start-up. Sounds like a pushrod bent "low',and is striking the inspection cover. Now,since I'm THE "co-owner",I GET to fix it!! YEE HAH!! What a Week-End!! Today's My Birthday!! There Is A GOD!!

Pretty cool story.

That guy must have really had a bad case of buyer's Remorse.

Yeah,he lost $4,000.00 in that deal!! He got a settlement from an accident,then went on a "Buying Spree"! He was broke and desperate,and the '55 was the 1st to go! "Tater's back "Home",Now!! And "He" bought himself a "Little, Older Brother",The KB3!! YEEE-HA!!

Thats the same story of most people who win a lottery.

Well gosh Bill, now I need to figure out what exactly to put at the top of your Gallery page for 'Tater??!!

So I get that you'll be working on Tater but this other fellow owns it? You'll have to send me his name. Perhaps we'll start the "continuing Saga of 'Tater" and it'll be an extended page for the new guy with input from the "co-owner" ... that's pretty funny.

That's makin $$$ for just bout doin nothin! Added bonus.....still get to have fun!!!

Yeah,"TONS Of Fun"!! 3/4,('58 IHC 1200 4X4,with Silver Diamond engine, '48 KB 5 cab and front clip),1-ton '48 IHC KB3,and 2-Ton "'Tater"! Wowee!! The "New" owner isn't too happy,right now. The 261 is TOAST!! I recently changed the oil. I always added zdd additive,plus i used Valvoline Z5W50 Racing oil,as suggested by many. This time,I used plain Valvoline 10W40. I was driving it to the "New Owner's place,and it developed a rod knock. Before I could get it pulled over,the engine locked-up,skidding the rear tires to a halt! I'll bet the crank's SHOT!! we plan on pulling the pan,and inspect the damage.I found a small chamber 327,out of a 64 2-ton,that should be an easy swap,since the bell housing should bolt right up to the SM420.Check out the "Swap Meet Section,for 261 parts! THANKS!!
