Hi

Stovebolt journey

Thanks

Garry,

What a great find! Like the array of images you included.

You say the truck was "stored for 40 years." How did you come about finding it? Since it runs and drives well, is there much you plan to do with the Bolt, besides the much-fun driving around?

Spring is here and an old truck really turns heads. We'd love to hear about some of your jaunts in the Stovebolt Driving Report thread.

You have plenty of folks around here who are willing to share their knowledge and experiences. We look forward to your "Stovebolt Journey" ... I like the sound of that.

Welcome to Stovebolt. Let the adventure begin!

Awesome example. 👍 I'd drive it as is. Don't look like it's needs anything, but miles put on it. Enjoy

Ditto!

Thanks for your support ! I had a 69 ford basket case and sold it
My barber ask about the 69 and I told him I sold it but if he knew anyone that has an old truck for sale let me know . Another customer of his had this one and I could not pass it up

My jealously level just increased dramatically. A WOW truck.

Wow. Neat serendipity. (I like that word, too.) So, you didn't have to go far and wide to get it. That doesn't happen much either! Serendipity!

We've recently had a few new folks coming in from PA. Maybe they'll chime in here. You'll find some of the PA regulars in the ODSS. "Discussion for Stovebolters residing in MD, VA, West VA and DC. And ... possibly ... under probation .... So. PA " -- crazy bunch. They have a spring event coming May 5-7 in Mineral, Virginia. Wrenchfest 2023 Check it out. Definitely a fun bunch (I are one )

Welcome to the 'bolt... great find....

Thanks ! This fall i my want to sandblast and paint the frame
Since this is my 1st stovebolt I will ask for advice on how far to go with the resto

Sounds like you'll be needing some encouragement (hope that's all ) from the Paint and Body Shop.
