The Stovebolt Site Forums The Side Lot Old Dominion Stovebolt Society (MD, VA, West VA, DC, DE and PA) Stop the presses!!

Something's afoot???

We'll have more details as press reports come in!

Stay tuned!

Those press boys better have their cameras ready, it's gonna be a goodun!

I like rescue missions!!!

BREAKING NEWS!!!

WHAT!!!! No phone calls to another Big Bolt Brother to assist with some Big Bolt knowledge. Blastphemy!!!!!

Mike, have you been reading the press releases?! This is big, high security with a fine timeline and minute window of opportunity to get in and get out. Heck, I don't even know the coordinates and I am supposed to be the second in command on this mission?? This hush hush covert operation has been in the works for a couple of months. No blasphemy intended, just not your typical rescue.
Your other Big Bolt Brother,
W Haworth Marlow

Billy ... Aren't you in command???

Nope, SS is the Commander.....that's all I know.....you guys have your blindfolds right?

Shh.

Brothers back to your post.

This is so secret.... I don't even know where my post is???

What mission?? No habla englais

Who is this Mission guy anyway...

Write your letters to your loved ones. Leave them in an envelope, sealed, labeled "open only if I do not return". Then if you are the one that takes the bullet for your pals your Mrs will have something to rest with. Be quick, quiet, direct and lethal and then be done. Good luck.

Um, we are going after a truck...right?

President is secure in safe house location Zulu Delta, synchronize code speak @ 2000 hours.

President is secure. Perimeter on lockdown.

We will see you when we are supposed to see you.

Godspeed Gentlemen.

How about a secret operative, that is not known in the east.
He can get in and get out, with the objective, then disappear somewhere in the midwest, taking on the disguise of a redneck.
Of course, the objective may be held captive at said redneck location, for ransom.

Ya'll to late. We have already hacked in and the objective has now disappeared.....

Dam, I type too slow.

Ha, Alvin -- your feeble attempts at misinformation notwithstanding, the extraction mission was an unqualified raging success by all accounts.

Check back at the Photobucket link at the top in this thread for the latest skinny/gouge/poop/info

Huge success! Pretty cool to go rescue a truck that most likely would have melted back into the earth in a few more years. On to of that, fire it up for the first time in 15 years, hear the air brake compressor start to build air, wack the sticking left front wheel a couple time to free it, ease the clutch out and drive effortlessly onto the trailer.
Doesn't get much better than that.
This truck has a ginormous winch behind that cab with all kinds of levers and, it works perfectly. She's a beast!

I think we still need an Apache Wind Talker to decipher just what in the Sam Hill Don was talking about ...

This mission was like no other. Planned to precision, executed in style.

This truck was the first one I have ever rescued where the truck WANTED to be rescued. With all the elements needed to run, it fired right up. As Billy says a few whacks to free a sticky wheel, and I was driving! Did my first drive up on the trailer for my good buddy Pierce, and off we went!

Great day, got to spend the day with 3 of Stovebolt's finest and had 3 tons of fun!

Pictures are great. Nicely done!!!!
Where is this GMC going to live??? what are the plans for it?
oh, I know, all part of the top secret plans. ....

Alec don't bother.

Homecoming is in April usually and I am certain the torches and saws alls are being finely tuned as I type this. Instead of offering up this "Gay Mans Cruiser" to the ODSS peasant public so it can saved and cherished like every GMC should, the President of the Chevy Hoarders and Hackers club has already hinted that it will end up like the others. Whacked, hacked, wiped and swiped before our very eyes and all the while laughter will follow......

I would even entertain joining the trailer club if I could get my hands on this fine Giant Mountain Climber of a truck....

Talk is cheap, actions speak louder. Speaking of those "others," volunteers to to *preserve* have been sparse ... but

I seem to recall who was first in line to hack, chop, slice and puree ...

Um, remind me who took the 302 out of the 470 home ... ??

Darn it John, I thought you new the language.
My great Grandmother was full blooded indian.
I think Cherokee.
If anyone needs any secret missions carried out of the midwest to HQ, let me know.
I plan on making the Homecoming/Hackfest again in April.

Don

Please tell me this one's going to be saved...It tlooks 10 times better than the others that have been parted out...Air brakes and a winch as a bonus...

Mike B

I need another truck....
Well perhaps not, but someone needs that truck! And not in pieces.

Oh for heavens sake .... calm yourselves.

Maybe the ODSS needs an ugly pet. Maybe it can be a project truck. It can be fixed on and maybe even be used in some of these rescue/recovery missions. I'd be willing to contribute to making it usable. Might be fun.

I'm surprised at you all. Pierce was the only one that talked of cutting the truck up and he wasn't even there?! He was at home searching for enclosed trailers for his Blueberry Special and trying to figure out how he was going to explain buying one.
No one on the rescue mission talked about cutting it up I mean really, air brakes, a cool a$$ winch and it fired right up and drove on the trailer. This truck is in nicer shape than some of the "learning speimans" that we dissected in the past. Specimens that quite a few of you operated on too. Tisc tisc.....

Harrumph, Haworth!! Harrumph indeed! Well said, Sir.

Have you all seen Billy's video yet??

She's an American girl, alright...

Yeah yeah yeah, it may not be "for sale" but I'll bet it "can be bought".............at a PRICE!!

That truck would be nice in anyone's stable. Nice job guys.

Keep this guy away from it and it may survive.

Don

Its amazing how much better the videos are once you turn your sound on!!!

Now, where's that RPM calculator........

You guys are Full Metal Jacket crazy. I would never go on a mission like that.

Yep, FMJ crazy!

ODSS Truck Rescue of "Buddy"

You could put a bed (rollback) on the back to haul other rescues! Winch already in place!

Marlow, great video!!!
