The Stovebolt Site Forums The Back Office News and Announcements 2024 Calendars and then some ....

So ... bring 'em on.

We have some good theme ideas, including use of "before" and "after" truck images. Even thought of a play on words with "garage kept" ... hasn't left it! Forget the IRWIPI theme (although we can do that, too).

If you have other ideas (and photos), feel free to post here but also send the images to HQ direct email. Keep in mind different holidays and seasons when sending in those shots.

We had some good submissions for the 2023 calendar and ... ah hem, we got a very late start. Like DECEMBER.

We have figured out the programs so we should be able to get cranking on them relatively soon. We want to try some different things. But first: we need the images.

HERE ARE the old guidelines for the photos. But we may not need to be that stringent. We'll tell you how they work out.

A winch truck I bought last spring I call "Poncho" because I bought it from a guy named Poncho..

I do have a before picture and as is now 43 years later. But you know my issues.Here is before.

Peggy, Here's a candidate.

Kevin, Can you add the thumbnail (AM) here as well as this link?
Thanks.

Edited my post. You're welcome to use "Mater" if you'd like too.

Haha. Is that a Stovebolt?

Here is my calendar entry...taken this past July at the Gilmore Car Museum while attending the VCCA Central Meet. Using a theme around old gas stations, or old buildings in general, may be an idea that gains traction.

Here is my 47 3600 in front of my neighbors garage. Or some fall color.

Luke:

Your '48 has been a staple in our calendars for many years. That green truck has been a go-to for fall! Now, we have a new theme for it! Classic!


lumberslayer:

Great. Another quaint garage! And more fall colors. Very good.



Thanks for the submissions!

Peg

Yeah, mostly. It was getting ready for a V8 when I looked at it. Maybe a 52 or 53.

Looks like a '51 with the vent wing and turn down handle. At least the door does.

You're right Mark. I was relying on memory and didn't zoom in on the pic to see that. Also, it was before I knew about the differences between years for AD trucks. As a matter of fact it was before I even knew what AD stood for.

Another one from Nick.

Here are a few I snagged from "Dave from Kentucky" a/k/a "dgrinnan" ... 1954 3100. Some fun pictures in his photo albulm. There are many more in there!

Pulled up another one I was perusing from last year. Milt "58NAPCO3600" Packard -- 1958 Chevrolet 3600 NAPCO

I'll need to crop out the house on the right.


HERE ARE OTHERS of Milt's.

Peggy,
Don't know if you saw this one from Lumbersawyer. HERE
Beautiful picture (and truck)

Our first drive together in our newly restored 1950 1300 Chevy truck.

Sweet. Is this "recent" snow??!!

Yes fell early last week. I’m to old for snow, I’ve seen enough of it

Here are two pics of me and the 54 3100.First was 35 years ago, about 1988. It sat in the shop collecting dust from 1996 until 2022 when I got it going again. The second shot was taken this past spring at the exact spot as the first pic.

Jethro, it look like neither you or the truck have weathered that well.

Here are a couple that are a few years old.

Ma'am, 1948 Chevrolet 3100 photos taken October 1993 for consideration of the before/after calendar. You have a pic of the after already.
They were shot on the back field of my step fathers/mom small parcel homestead, which the pick-up sat inside a garage for 15 years before hauling it back down to MD to work the restoration seriously. That field is on the edge of the 100,000 acres of the New Jersey Pinelands that comprise 22% land mass of NJ. Thanks Peg. V/r, Nick or "NJC"

Yea hoo! Looks like it's gonna be a weekend to start on these! Thanks all ....

Don't really have any "before" or "after" pics per se, as neither of my trucks have changed that much since I got them. But if any of my gallery pics suit your purpose, feel free to use them. I also have other pics of both trucks. If you have something specific in mind, PM me and I'll see what I can come up with.

Rich,

Looks like you've got plenty for a "truck as a truck" theme. And then some.

I don't have any pictures worth sharing, but I need one of the calendars when they get printed.

Jason - sure. AAMOF, I was thinking of you (and the guys in Project Journals) for one of the composite calendar images. Kind of a "Work in Progress" kind of theme. Another theme (prompted by your posts) is one with "The Next Generation" ... I really like the idea of your daughter working with you.

We have some neat images of legacy trucks. Actually, plenty of theme ideas and now that my computer is back up and working, I'm anxious to put a few more together. I've got an It Ran When I Parked It ready to finish this weekend. I'll post those calendar pages here. I'll add the ODSS here, too. That computer *issue* really was a monkey wrench for me.


Back at it now!

If you do decide you want the "next generation", I have full res versions of the ones I uploaded.
