Had a six and granny gear (thank goodness ) I paid $50 for it and it had an original cap , which I found out later was probably worth more than the truck , and a visor w/prism .It hauled lot of firewood . We had a cold spell I didn’t know better so I set the emergency brake and when I went to drive it the next day it wouldn’t move . This is where granny came in , it grunted and growled but I got it into a heated garage to try and thaw out , took two days and an elaborate blanket/tent set up with more heat but got it moving again . My dad sold it when I was overseas.
Older now and started looking for a replacement . I had a line on a 50 and I googled how to read VIN #’s when I found STOVEBOLT , looked around and found some very good info , thank you . The 50 fell through but wish Dad would have saved the cap , visor and prism from what I am seeing

Glad you found us. Lots of knowledge and resources here. Take a little time to look around and get familiar with the site. Being in Florida makes you a "Southern Stovebolte" so be sure to check in with the Southern Stovebolt forum and introduce yourself there as well. We have quite a few members from Ga., Florida......also be sure to keep check in the EVENTs forum as well. The Stovebolt groups have some "gatherings" during the year.
Good luck on finding your next project. Be sure to check the trucks for sale. You never know. Visit often, you won't be disappointed. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,440 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,440 | Welcome to the Stovebolt madness. There is no cure!

Keep your eyes open, and I'm sure one might turn up. Don King may have bought one in Missouri yesterday.

I did not even get a chance to bid and it was already way over my price range.
Welcome to the garage Tunl! I will not ask you what you did to get that name. Probably earned it in the late sixties?
We’ll keep a lookout for a 49 for you!

He was a master gunsmith named David Dodds. Dave passed away a few years ago, possibly from complications of Agent Orange exposure. The .50 caliber flintlock "chunk gun" that I use in "over the log" target shoots like the ones Alvin York sponsored in the 1920's was built by him. It's a "piece of art that shoots".
