I'm planning to go to Turlock, too. Don't really need anything, but always fun to rummage through the parts. I usually come home with something I didn't realize I needed.

Hello riverdancer9.
I'm in Santa Rosa (Sonoma County) with a '36 Chevy pickup that I've owned since 1965. I look at the stovebolt forum once in a blue moon but I check email every day.

I used to see about 3 old fire engines sitting in the vacant log on the corner right in the center of Cedarville. This must have been one of them? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2015 Posts: 79 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2015 Posts: 79 | San Jose here, 1952 Chevy Carryall - in original barn found condition - working on putting in a new motor, a rebuilt 235.
