The Stovebolt Site Forums The Side Lot Great Lakes Bolters Minneapolis Minnesota Stovebolts?!?!

Well, I have yet to meet/talk with a fellow Stovebolter in person!! Just moved to the Minneapolis area more just North-West of the cities and wanted to see who else, if anyone, is in the area?! Maybe sometime down the road meet up when possible and such! Have an awesome day everyone!

Hi Bigchevroletfan, I'm in St. Paul, I have seen other Bolters from MN on here so it would be nice to have a little get together a kind of get to know you, I have a 55 5400 lcf compleat truck and a 57 5100 cab that I going to put on a p30 chassis, then if all goes right with that then I may try to sell the 55 to help finish the 57, I have tried to do two at once before and it doesn't work to well, so if you would like to get something going get intouch and we can see if we can make it happen. Thanks Roger

Hello Glassman55! Sweet! I have been driving right through St. Paul on 35E towards the river hauling road salt this whole week! It would be awesome to actually meet up with a fellow Bolter! Sounds like you have your hands full! Yeah it would be awesome to to meet up hopefully soon!

Hi, Are you hauling it to the DOT lot off Maryland and 35E, I live a few miles NW of there. Roger

Twin city locals, I haven't been on the forum for awhile. It would be great to get a network together and share truck challenges and solutions.

I have a not-yet-running, as of yet (please help? ) '52 and I'm in St. Paul! I would love to see other trucks!

I am also in the Saint Paul area with a 1957 Suburban.

I'm in Wisconsin, around the St. Croix Falls area. It would be great to have a get-together. Anyone going to the Buick show and swap meet in May? How about Back to the 50's?

I am interested in whatever may come of a meet-up!

Hello all, SOOOO sorry I have been so crazy lately driving over the road with a semi truck. Wanting to change jobs to have something that keeps me around the cities and not spend two to four nights away from home and family. Anyways, WOW, I really am excited about the response turnout! I am all for getting something put together for this summer when weather is just right to be driving our Stovebolts to meet up for a fun get together that interests everyone. Something simple where a handful of us can meet up, get to see our trucks, who knows maybe do a fun event like say bowling?! Throwing out ideas, but I have yet to personally meet a fellow Stovebolter!

Thumbs up to bowling!

Hi, Not big fan of bowling but would still be interested in a get together, don't have anything done enough to drive but would like to see everyone else's trucks, been looking around the internet at other trucks and get more of the bug to work on my trucks when it warms up have to mix home and cabin repairs along with working on the trucks. Thanks Roger

Well, any ideas or interests that any of you may have would be great to know to further plan on something generally would be a great time to meet, look over the trucks, have a little fun, etc. Bowing, pool, darts, food and drinks, you name it, there are several places in the cities area I searched. I am still fairly new to the area but if anyone knows of a place that would be a good place big enough for a group of Stovebolters to hang out and exchange wisdom by all means do tell!! Let's make this a group effort to meet sometime this summer that hopefully works. Saturdays, after noon on Sundays due to Church is when I am most available.

How about Park Grove Bowl? It should be fairly close for everyone and has great reviews, great parking space, bowling, pool, bar, etc. Looks like it would work, what say you guys? There are six of us so far that have talked about this get together!!

BigChevroletFan,
Sounds good to me. Let me know when.

I have a 1949 3100 that I just got running. Im located in the south metro.
Glad to see Im not the only in the area that enjoys these old trucks.

I'm southwest of you guys--just east of Mankato. It'd be cool to meet up sometime, but I probably wouldn't drive my Bolt all the way up there.
If you're ever down this way PM me and maybe we could get together. I don't usually check this forum that much.

If anybody is in need I have them 216 and 3 speed that I took out of my truck. I put in a 283 so I don't need it anymore. It turns over and ran 10 years ago. I just can not bring myself to send to the scrapyard. I also have the upper and lower seat springs. So If anybody is interested let me know. It will be cheap really cheap to a good home.

Hey guys new to the forum and the stovebolt world !! So far I love it I'm into all kinds of vintage. ... I have a 10 vintage snowmobiles and do the vintage rides and an olde motorcycle as well ... last but most important is my 1949 chev 4100 stakebed dump truck I'm in Duluth ... I got my truck in November 2016 not running.. with a stuck motor actually... and today I drove it down the road .. far from road ready but it's running and driving on her own

Welcome Old dumpy!
Now, how about we set on a weekend that works? May 27 or so for all of us to set aside/plan ahead for?

Hello everyone! How about we meet up at Applebee's where there is plenty of parking space? How about the one in the Roseville/Saint Paul area just off state highway 36 and Fairview Avenue?

There's a great spot to have a get together in Hastings, MN. The old log village is a great spot. look it up on the Web and you'll agree.

Back to the 50s is always a great place to meet other Bolters
