The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts 1959 GMC 860

That's a beauty, Billy. Is that the same color as your 46 COE?

Thanks Victor. That was the intent, they did the best they could to match both colors but they are not exact.
I added a bunch more pics on the album. I want to go back and add some captions. I had the whole thing fairly well detailed on Webshots until that whole debacle ruined everything.
Man, I have taken a ton of pictures over the years.....lots of detail stuff, you know, so I could put the thing back together. Good thing I did because it has been a long dang time.

Hy Bill Marlow and guys, I am finally out of the hospital and at home. My desktop confusilator can open the video and pictures just fine. You have every right to be proud of the work you have done to create such a beautiful truck, now I'm even more jealous!!!

Thank you 3B!

Been digging through this thread for the past hour or so. And I'm absolutely loving this truck! Definitely gonna be following this

Possum -- you have no idea ... Being in the presence of this truck is like going into the "Clean Room" at the Kennedy Space Center where they prepare space craft for launch and just to go into the room with the equipment, you have to decontaminate and suit up in the tyvek suits, booties and funny hats. Then you can go in and see (but not touch) the immaculate, pristine, completely germ and dust free vehicle that is absolutely perfect. You can even hear the angels singing faintly in the background. That's pretty much what it is like to go into Marlow's shop and gaze upon this artwork of his. Degas, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Mozart ... all hacks compared to Marlow and his Magnum Opus, Symphony No. 860 in 6-71 Major

The boys will confirm that I do not exagerate.


John

John never exaggerates, I’d say he habitually understates.

The 860 is a fine truck.

Ahh John, I think this clean livin and all natural diet you've been on has scrambled your yoke. Either that or you have been sharing the same pipe you accused Hambone of smoking in these very Stovebolt pages! If my shop was that clean, my wife wouldn't be hollering at me for ruining all my clothes when I come out of said "Clean Room". (Thanks for the reminder, I need to order some more SB swag. Ive declared two stovebolt t shirts "no longer wearable" this summer.) Plus, it does have a Detroit Diesel in it, you know, Drip Troit? You almost need a tyvek suit to work on it.

Oh no, he doesn't exaggerate....he can't drive in the snow and he hates the water too....aint that right Whalerboy?
But, thank you for the sentiments!

And Grigg played a huge part in getting this truck to where it is. I truly could not have done what I have without him. Thats just a plain fact.
Thank you Grigg.

Neat looking truck Billy bet it sounds the goods credit to all involved
