Happy New Year fellow Bolters. I am new to this game and recently acquired a 1948 3600. In its previous lifetime The Wrecker was a service station tow truck thus "Wrecker". To begin with the plan is to get her in shape to be a grocery getter and from there we'll see about cleaning her up. Looking forward to a whole new learning curve with your help. Rob

Welcome to the “Bolt”. The best place by far, for advice to help you get your “Wrecker” to the grocery store. Thats one nice solid looking truck you got to start with. Congrats!

Welcome, That truck is older than me but it looks in better shape. Teach your buddy that is in the drivers seat to drive and he can fetch things at the store for you. Welcome, a great adventure begins! Doc.

Rob -- We love playing "Stump the Chumps" so fire away with those questions!

Nice truck, by the way. Looks cold there.

I'm a little late to the party but Welcome to Stovebolt, Rob. You'll never be the same after this experience....but better!!!
See you around the garage.......and you probably have some neighbors that are members here. Once you make the required post be sure to pin your location and you can also see how many others are in that area! Computers are great....sometimes!!!
