Bill Hanlon, Fredericksburg Texas. I've been pretty much daily driving my '52 GMC 152 flatbed since I bought it the day after I retired from the computer industry in 2013. I do most of the maintenance and upgrades myself, although it came to me with disk brakes on the front, a 3.55 rear gear and A/C. It still has the original pistons.

The Bolt has just gained one of the most knowledgeable and thoughtful person I have ever known. Will go out of his way to help others and do so cheerfully. A fixture for years on the Classic site and my go to for anything non auto electrical and pretty darn sharp on the truck/car electronics also. The day has just become warmer.

Thanks for the good words Evan. Maybe I should run for office or use you as a job reference.
