The Stovebolt Site Forums The Side Lot Old Dominion Stovebolt Society (MD, VA, West VA, DC, DE and PA) Homecoming 2018

The members of the Old Dominion Stovebolt Society are pleased to announce the official details for Homecoming XI -- 27-29 April, 2018. Details on the Homecoming Page (follow that link ). Please go to the Homecoming Page and read it before posting questions ... thanks.

We will set up a separate thread for Registration (to let us know who's coming).

Thanks John for confirming the date!
The LDT (Long Distance Team) is planning on being there.
Jerry, Andy and myself. Have not heard if Leo will make it.
Tim, our super sonic member is hinting, but we will see.

I'll have that three burner propane cook stand, deep fryer and 20+ pounds of taters to fry up.
May even do up some Doritos and some mystery food.
The cook stand will be available for anyone to use.
A Ferd V-8 for Jerry to haul home and he's trading a 235 for me to haul to Andy, along with a motor stand.
Still don't know what truck I'll have on the trailer, but it will be a 1-ton. 57 or 65?
The 65 needs a tune up and a one way ticket.

Thanks
Don

Ah. I can breathe easier now knowing that Homecoming will bring many hands for my project.

Doug
Project meaning a 65 1-Ton that I have because of you?

Don

I am ready! Hoping to get the rear end regeared prior to homecoming. If not, can I add a project? I plan on arriving early for set up and helping. I will have an enclosed trailer with me this year sleeping in at night. I will also have my truck with!

Chris

This thread was intended just to announce the date so people could start their planning... We'll get to logistics soon enough

Chris, if you want to work on your rear axle, bring it! That's what the weekend is about.

I will bring it as long as I am not taking away from someone else's vehicle that needs assistance. AND if I can't get it completed prior to the main event! Are you good if I come down on Thursday afternoon in case you need assistance setting everything up?

Nice looking Homecoming page!

Pretty well covers the usual activities.
In short, come with or without a truck, you will have fun.

Thinking I'll show up mid day Thursday.
Tired from the all night road trip from Mid Mo. to Maryland
Crash for a good night's sleep at a local hotel.
Then sleep where I can for the weekend.

Tim, this road trip can change if you want.
Vicki and I had a great time last year spending time with you.
We want to invite you both to our Holiday House this summer, (Sept) after the Reunion.

Don and Vicki King

John, from the northern end, myself, DJ, his pop, and Bill (red 48-3100) will be in attendance. Good Lord willin and the creek don't rise, I may be with Deadwrench. Drug, towed or pushed I hope to bring it.

I have an agressive schedule to get it roadworthy. If not - it comes and leaves roadworthy. Gauge cluster is in. Need a speedometer that works. Or at least doesn't sound like nails on a chalkboard. Getting closer.

Looking to connect with Jim Schmidt - see if he or I will sponsor the "Schmidtter" no matter the sponsor, always appropriately named.

Joe

Ah .... Ja, ja, der schmidt haus ... sehr wichtig!

]Ahh .... Ja, ja, der schmidt haus ... sehr wichtig! The memories!!
Well this might be good news to some, but, that weekend, i will be in Texas. Huge bummer on my part!!!!
For those of you that do care, I will be there in spirit, For i will once again provide the " Ah .... Ja, ja, der schmidt haus ... sehr wichtig " for your enjoyment, or more so "needs".
I'm rather upset, for this event has become the highlight of my year!
Just leave me to my tears, it will be alright.

Houston calling Jim

we cannot attach images here

so, here are a few images of that necessary haus

Santa 1
Santa 2

very important (sehr wichtig) facilities

It's high time I installed my Fulton visor. I have the whole thing, already painted and all. I hope Cosmo is coming, if not, I hope his truck will be there. I think my visor is the same as his.

Carl, are you the expert on A-D hood alignment? Hope you're there too (with your mighty convoy) My hood needs attention.

Let’s go for a record. How many trucks can we adjust the valves in 20 mins?

I would also like to watch a true body man adjust the hood alignment!

Chris

I will be there. You will need to supply the Cuss Jar. Still waiting for the rest of the mightys to chime in. So far its just me and Sweet. Does 2 make a convoy?

Carl,

I will already be at homecoming, but I am willing to drive out to meet you guys and drive back with you all.

Chris

Joe, just download a speedo on your phone.

I sent Mark an email with the dates and a link. He bought a new p-up truck. please send him a formal letter saying it’s not allowed 😜
I may have some 58 Suburban seats (frames and springs, and maybe some kind of upholstry on them) for sale. Not sure what else we’ll find to get rid of. The garage is a little full to be moving.

d -- Moving? You're moving?? Did someone get a retirement ... ?

I will be there with tools in hand👍

Dave 261 as he lives and breathes...........glad to see you are back on. I kind of remember you staying at a Red-Roof INN - California MD this link might work: https://www.reservations.com/hotel/...39FiGVzfrXrN42AmdNR05_DJXFIaAlE9EALw_wcB


JOe

I'll attend. This will be my first time. I might bring a T5 transmission in case anyone wants to take it apart and reassemble. Or do an input shaft swap.
Any interest?

Thank you for the info joe, looking forward to the trip

Room is booked

I found the spring extension you need for your break pedal, I will bring it by

Absolutely!

Hi , I've registered to attend the homecoming but have been unable to find the address where the event will happen.
If some one could post an address it would certainly make my trip south smoother .
Thanks John

Don, if he calls, I can shake a Christmas tree so he can find us on the map easier! 🤣

See you soon our brother from the great white north! Drive safe!

Chris

some say drive safe , and some say have fun , I haven't decided which method to use yet but I now have a destination , thanks.
Hopefully no tree shaking will be necessary!

If you go back to the Main Homecoming Page, listed in the first post in this thread, it's listed there in the "Directions/How to Find Homecoming" section, too ...
