I’ve had it in the shown state for a little while now - it’s a fun truck!!! | | | | | Joined: Aug 2015 Posts: 86 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2015 Posts: 86 | I think of it quite the opposite. This was sitting in a barn for decades, never to see the road again. It’s now back on the road, spreading the love for old Chevy trucks. This build may not be for everyone but i think we all can agree we’d rather see these trucks going down the road versus decomposing as cozy homes for mice.
Thanks for taking a look through my build! | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | ....Markiemar, even though some purist may not agree with you I am with you 100% with what you say. Kind of describes my 37. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 1,576 back yard wrench turner | | back yard wrench turner Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 1,576 | I agree, keeping these old trucks on the road is more important than keeping the totally original. My 38 looks original but has a newer drive line and disc brakes. It suits me just fine.

Thanks for taking a look through my build! I second that. I don't think I've ever heard someone complain when one of these classics is going down the road. It's kind of hard to say "I'll bet that thing doesn't have the original coil anymore" when you're staring and your mouth is hanging open.  | | | | | Joined: Feb 2019 Posts: 4,100 AD Addict & Tinkerer | | AD Addict & Tinkerer Joined: Feb 2019 Posts: 4,100 |  Dear Stovebolt Members,
We are excited to announce the latest featured journal by “MarkieMark9”, in our new Completed Journals forum.
This exceptional "restomod" project is a perfect blend of vintage and modern engineering—featuring a 1939 Chevy 1/2 ton mounted on a S10 frame, powered with a robust 4.3 LS motor. The existing body has been preserved, allowing us to utilize the nostalgic charm while benefiting from all the modern conveniences of today's automotive innovations.
Remarkably, this build was completed in under nine months! We encourage you all to check out the journal and share your thoughts or inquiries about the retromod process.
Best regards,
Phil
