Stovebolt is pleased to support the Salvation Army! We're doing fine but many around the World are not. Instead of making a contribution to us this holiday season, how about making your contribution to a great organization with a long history of helping people in need around the world?
It was going to be such an easy job , LOL , famous last thoughts . After a litany of complications , I finally finished the 216 > 235 swap . Goes great
Got some of the interior panels painted and installed,made new windlace for around the doors and covered the fiberglass headliner with dark brown newer style headliner material.
Completed a conversion to power front disc brakes on my ‘56. Used kit from CCP. Not for amateurs; very fortunate to have had access to well equipped garage and tools (owner retired). Otherwise, the truck remains 100% original, but this was needed for safety while driving in an urban environment. Grabbed one of the under-dash mounts for the floor vent cables from a donor truck to mount on the driver side for the proportioning valve light... looks “store bought” original.
Also, replaced the steering sector with one from the same donor truck; can “feel” the road a little better. Cruzin down the interstate at 65 mph was just glorious!

Heater/Blower fan switch went out on the '62 C10 a couple of days ago. Had to jumper the connector to keep the defrost running. Needed that in the rain we've been having lately. New switch came in today. Already installed and working like a champ!
Well after 3 years of looking, found myself a 261 to rebuild, it is a complete running engine. Made me a pretty happy camper. Going to go in my 53 1/2 ton. Steve
Modern ‘science’: the wonder of a pre-determined mind…
The ‘baseline belief’ of astronomy: “Any day now, we’ll pick up a tiny, coded signal from outer space. Then we’ll know for certain that there is intelligence out there, because coded information does not arise by chance”
The ‘baseline belief’ of biology: The precisely coded genetic information in every cell would fill many books… but we know for certain that no intelligence could have created life.”
