Hello Stovebolt! I had a 61' Apache 20 Fleetside that I fixed up with extensive help from this site a few years back. That truck was sold for the next project, but here I am again with a new project! A 61' Apache 10 step-side truck, 235 cubic inch 6 cylinder, and 4-speed manual. Ready to get at it with my first stop here to sign back in! I had great luck with vendors recommended from this site, and I learned so much from so many very talented folks. I'll keep you posted and probably kill you all with questions!!! GPK1961

There is always room for another four eyed truck on the BOLT. I learned to drive on a 60', love the cat eye hoods. Welcome Back.

Welcome...back. You can take the bolter out of Stovebolt country but you can't get the Stovebolt out of the Bolter.
Looks like some good things going on with your pickup ....if you need any help, just visit the Garage Forums...but hey, you already know this! hehehe

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
