Quick shout out to all you esential stovebolt advisers/ teachers for lack of better titles. I started using these forms some time ago and with the help of all of you got thru many troubles with my 1940 chevy half ton . This weekend i worked on my dads 1936 chevy changed out his brake cylinders and hoses , ran into some pre exsistingbissues associated with brake system but got thru it . job went good .. before stovebolt i had no clue what was going on .. BIG SHOUT OUT to this forum .. Thanks for all the help over the years 👍😎

I think I learn something new just about every time I come here.....I may not need the tip at the time but we learn anyway......and pass it on to others.
Glad things worked out for you. The more we visit, the more we learn!!

Thanks for the feedback, Facundo! This is very much a community effort ... which you are a part of. Do not hesitate to jump in and pass it along to the next guy!

Thanks for being a part of this community.

Excellent point, Alvin. But let me add this -- The more we *share*, the more *others* learn.

Not a sermon, just a thought ...

I started hanging out on this site in 2010. As far as these old trucks are concerned, at that time, I was really good at taking stuff apart...
Fast forward to today, I have gained a vast knowledge of these trucks. I am now able to put stuff back together. ALL of the knowledge I have gained came from the selfless folks who have shared their knowledge on this site.

Thanks Carl -- I also thank those who have shared their lunch ...

I agree. I think these thoughts every time I’m on. This is my internet time. This forum is a thing of beauty. I’m on other forums and they are terrible. Hard to navigate, abusive at times, buried threads; I could go on.

Thank you, Stovebolters. I couldn’t have done it without you.

I agree!! Very appreciative of all the help and education from you all, it has meant a lot in my quest to further understand my '53 that I've had since I was 14 (now 37). I've been hooked on these old trucks since I was a kid, and this site has been invaluable.

For the amount of stuff I have learned on this site, my truck and I will be in debt, a long time. Thanks Stovebolt.

I'd have been lost on my restoration without the invaluable info shared here on Stovebolt. Adding my thanks as well.

I know I have learned a lot on this Forum Thanks to all!!

This site brings a lot of experience and great minds together.
It is a daily go to for me.

I too really appreciate the level of expertise found here. I learn something every time I log in.

"Shared." Hmm, that word seems to have a much broader meaning in certain regions with which I am familiar...

After meeting a good portion of the ODSS gang, Shared is something I'd rather not do with some of them.
As for the rest of the site. The sharing of knowledge is unmatched anywhere!!
Be it old GM trucks, other trucks or dare I say, Volkswagens?

But, needless of the topic, I learn every time i check in here!

I read this forum and realized that here is the most responsive community that I have ever seen.Now, in case of a problem, I know where to turn.

You nailed with the responsiveness of this site.
When I have a problem with my baby, the last thing that I have patience for is muddling through Google looking for answers. This is where Stovebolt shines. You will get all of your answers within 24 hours. I doubt that you will find that kind of straight forward and timely response on any other site of any description or topic.

Since joining up at the Stovebolt site I have been able to do 95% of the work on my 49 by myself, and the wife as well. I'd hate to think about how much I would have shelled out for the labor if it hadn't been for all the help on this site. Thanks for all the help fellows and here's to ya......whichever one you perfer. I kinda like them both ☺

John Milliman It amazes me how the young learn from the old,my driveline teacher was a powerful hack but he sure got results. We done it all off of creepers .Ed could gut-out and overhaul a 235 in a full day,when he was "running around",would rod his 51 tilla dipper tore loose,immediately shut it off -pull it home. He used to say Chevrolett pull er home let er set !! He knew how to cheat on those 2 rods you can change from below,by the weekend would be ready to go again !! Good days of learning !!!

olezippi Always drink my coffee at daybreak 2 little diner cups thats it for the day. Our morning forum is more of a blacksmoke nature and we meet out in the wilderness at a burger joint.Mostly like detroits,Cats,and Cummins,however I drive my 51 6400 there !!
