No skiing today-putting new interior parts in, and going for a quieter ride. My 49 runs much better now that we have the correct intake/exhaust manifolds and rebuilt Rochester carb. It has a 54 235, but still had the 216 manifolds. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 11 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 11 |

Anyone from around these parts ever get a Bolt-together for drives? I see some around here every once in a while, always thought it would be fun to have a little convoy somewhere.
Can't let the bike guys being the only ones!

Old farm trucks and highways with original gearing just don't get along! I see other AD trucks around here every once in a while and gaze longingly at them, I am sure I will connect with some soon.

Got a 1950 4400 cab n chassis 3 weeks ago running, driving and e-brake stopping.
Got it all torn down to roller with cab blasted and heading to get new Floor and cab corners then off to the body shop to fix the dents and paint in the meantime chassis will be torn down for powder coat.
Will be building a custom (I hope) flat bed
This is first stove bolt probably won’t be the last though.
Any San Tan Valley AZ bolters I’ll need advice SOON. 🎩

Be sure to take a few pics along the way. Sounds like an interesting build. Any help you need just ask in the garage forums and let us help. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2017 Posts: 3 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Oct 2017 Posts: 3 | Hey, Evan here from Edmonton, Alberta. With the snow starting to melt away I'm resuming work on my '59 6500. Starting work on the brakes and fixing things here and there as they come up. Rebuilt and painted my master cylinder. Now I'm just waiting to borrow a double flaring kit to do the brake lines. Excited to have the brakes working in the coming weeks. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2018 Posts: 79 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2018 Posts: 79 | Any east Phoenix area bolters there is a car show at Hampton and power Road in east Mesa (old K-mart parking lot) every Saturday night hopefully I’ll be bringing my new bolt up there soon 🎩
