Hey all I am a Kansas farm kid that joined the US Army and am currently stationed at Fort Bliss TX. I am a Field Artillery Captain in command of B BTRY 4-1 FA 1 AD DIVARTY and have a lovely wife and three minions terrorizing my home. I have restored a 1953 International T6 (go to redpower magazine forum if you would like to look) that I picked up East of LA and in August I will begin restomoding my Grandpas 1953 6400. Thank you for allowing me to join the forum and I look forward to talking with you folks.

Tanker, welcome to the Stovebolt and thank you for your service. We do sleep good at night because of guys like you.

There is tons of infor here on the bolt. Take a little time to check out the gallery photos and all the links. A lot to grasp here in a short time so be patient. Any questions you have just post them in the most appropriate garage forum and we'll give you the help you need. I'm sure your grandpa is proud.

Welcome Tanker, is this truck intended to haul the T6 around? Be sure to check out the Big Bolts section and maybe the HiPo shop.

Thanks for the welcome I already made a fool of myself by not realizing I couldn’t pm until I posted a bit lol.

The truck is indeed what I plan to use to haul the T6 around with. I was originally looking to buy a old Internatinal truck to haul it around and then remembered he had the truck sitting in his shed. Long story short the brakes went out 30 years ago and it has sat since. When I get back home tomorrow I’ll throw some pictures of it and the T6 in the thread.

The search for brake repairs is actually what brought me the this site I was hooked on the disc brake conversion thread and figured I would stick around.

Tanker, one more post and you can PM and see all Stovebolt has. Good luck on your repairs and if any problems ask them in the driveline or maybe the Big Bolt forum. The guys here will be glad to help.

Tanker, you may not be aware of this but photobucket stop letting folks post 3rd party links UNLESS they now pay up front to do so. I WAS on photobucket but have joined some other guys in putting my pictures on Google photo's. I'm not paying photobucket $480 a year to host my pictures.

Those who pay up can open the photobucket links but, like me, not many can now days. There are several threads on this subject in the IT Forum.

I saw the comments in the IT section but thought that only applied to when you have the picture actually appear in the thread, guess im in the running for the slow kid award.

actually, I was able to open your links and browse through your pics just fine! That said, it is a matter of time till they "get" your account as well! I like the others had a bunch of stuff on there and they got me too. I went in and deleted all my photos but have not taken the time to go back and put them somewhere else.
