I just joined up, but i've been reading through all sorts of information on this site, which ive found to be an absolutely incredible resource to have. i have a 1950 chevy 6400 with a low pressure 235, sm420, timken double reduction 2 speed rear, and a stakeside dump box. ive also got a 1970 C/20 suburban with a 292, np435, and 4.11 eaton HO52. ive got a good number of other vehicles, everything from jeeps to even a school bus. i have a passion for old iron, and i've got a lot of questions about the trucks listed here, as well as a lot of plans for the two of them. im not sure how pictures work yet, ill read up on that and add some of them later. thanks for letting me in!

Welcome to Stovebolt and congrats on all those jewels you have acquired!! Stovebolt is the place to be if you have old Chevy and GMC iron. See you around the garage.

Welcome to the 'Bolt, MrVaughan! Looks like you have the picture thing figured out!
Nice trucks!
Grab all the info you can. All we ask in return is to pass it along when you can. Everybody knows *something*
Even me... despite what you might hear ...

I didn’t know that Burbs came in a heavy duty version .
it's a really nice truck. it has essentially the running gear of a 1 ton, just not the stopping power. it has the potential to pull an incredible amount of weight, but it doesn't have a hitch... yet. it's got a later 292, which i've added headers, HEI, an offy intake, and a holley 4 barrel to. it'll be a cruising and towing rig eventually, but it needs a little bit of engine tuning, possibly a rear end rebuild (bearings for it are crazy, the pinion bearings alone are like $300), and new upholstery and carpet.
the 6400 is pretty normal, for that type and age of truck, similar equipment to what ive seen on a lot of similar trucks. the timken 2 speed rear really intrigues me, but other than that all that i know is that it has a wondrously reliable drivetrain.
thanks for the compliments guys. i really do appreciate it. i will absolutely do my best to pass on the knowledge retained here, i'm one of a few young un's of a dying breed.
