The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Its amazing what you find Youtube.

I may be late to the game?????. One of our own hope to share with people like me that miss out.

I was glued to the screen. Great story and truck!

I love these kind of stories. I am jealous it is not about me. I recently called my cousin in West Virginia. As a kid I always remembered an early 40's truck sitting in the barn of the family farm my dad grew up on. I always wondered what happened to it and after 50 years had the optimism of someone who had just bought a lottery ticket. I thought there was a chance, just ,maybe it was still there. The farm has been in the family for about 150 years but I had not been there for over 30. As you would expect, it was gone. My cousin told me someone came to look at it, interested in restoring it. It had rusted so bad there was nothing worth salvaging. At worse I had hoped someone had restored it and they spot it every once in a while around town but it is gone forever. The barn find depicted in the video is my ultimate dream. I love the history of these trucks, family farms and family. Great story.

That was outstanding, just might watch it again for a smile

This is one of my favorites... The smoke rings are classic.

Quite the opposite of the first post.
Sad.

WHY!!!! It ran so it had to be rebuildable.... Very Sad Indeed

An absolutely wonderful story about your old truck Ron! Terrific videos too! Thanks for making and posting them for all of us to enjoy. Really fun to watch!

The video appears to be about Volfandt’s truck. He’s a longtime moderator.

That sucked

Thanks, MT - that is an uplifting video for real stovebolt engine lovers.
At least it went out in magnificent die-hard flaming glory.

Read the remarks posted under the video that MT posted the link-to.
A lot of self-righteous people, who probably never bothersd (or, would bother) to save/resurrect a good old 216 engine.

Flaming Die-Hard Glory is better than being put out back to rust until it is un-revivable, when a high-pressure 235/261 replaces it (or, even worse, when a "modern"
engine sullies the engine bay).

Here's to that old 216

It is a 4 part story. Yes, It is not me.

Nice job, Dave

It looks like it is a 15 part youtube story by Volfant?

Thanks

I saw all 15 parts , loved it

Thanks Ron and all.
I appreciate all y'all's input.
Don't worry that you're encouraging me, that's already been done, LOL

Again thanks
Dave

Awesome video!! I gotta watch the rest. Can I bring my 47 down there and drive that road???

Always helpful, Dave. Just like you are on the Kubota forums!

Louisiana Red dirt Highway.. Sometimes getting lost is a good thing. On the way to Stovebolt HQ I made a wrong turn and got off a major road on to a well done secondary road in southern Ohio, I think. Narrow but well paved with a lot of o twists and turns and gentle hills.

This old pickup story is one of my favorites:
