Waiting for everything to fall into place right now. I'll be back! | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Welcome to the Bolt rdillon. The 49 sounds interesting. There are parts available for AD style trucks and they make nice rides. While your waiting on the truck take some time to browse the tech tips, look at the photos in the gallery and in general snoop around and find out what Stovebolt is all about....Ask questions in the best garage forum and we'll be glad to help.
There are also many bolters from around your area so be sure to watch for some of them...they may be next door! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,185 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,185 | Welcome to the site. Hopefully this purchase works out. Good luck.

Thank y'all for the welcome. I like what I see on these forums, must be something wrong, seems like everybody gets along!?!
This truck is a kind of unique situation, it's all there,(doesn't run though) needs a bunch of love. Might fix it, might sell it as is, not sure. We'll see what happens... Randy

Randy, can we get that in "writing". LOL That could very well be the slogan of the year! I do agree though. Heck, even the moderators will moderate each other if someone gets out of line  | | | | | Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 2,061 Big Bolt Forum Moderator | | Big Bolt Forum Moderator Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 2,061 | | | | | | Joined: May 2012 Posts: 256 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2012 Posts: 256 | Welcome to the Stovebolt !!

Back to the truck, looks like it's going to be a 235 with the original transmission. Going the path of least resistance. I just want to see it run! Thanks
