Hi, My name is Rich....and I have a problem,...I'm a truckaholic. I've got a problem with any kind of wheeled objects actually. My latest addiction is a 1958 Chevy Viking 60. It is a fire truck that I intend to transform into a rollback. I've picked up quite a bit of new and interesting information from this site. I'm hoping to utilize all its features to the fullest. Thanks for listening....

Welcome Rich, we're all addicted to these old truck, join the crowd. You say you picked up some new info already here, did you see the sub-forum on firetrucks? Check out the big bolts, then the Volunteer Stovebolt Fire Dept.

Rich, welcome to the STovebolt. I'm just another truckoholic that hangs around the garage forums. Glad to see you and Mike have a lot in common....as many of us here do.

See ya around the garage.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile

Thanks Leo. I did check out the firebolts. Hoping to get some insight on where to sell the pumper body and the accessories.

Thanks Mike. The Viking looks cool. I showed my children the wall art, now they each want one. Are your updated wheels one piece or the legal split rims?

My wheels are 1 piece 22.5 wheels. I will probably end up making another piece of wall art from the front of the one I just dragged home.
