I always wanted an old truck and a restoration project in retirement so about 5 years ago at a swap meet I came accross this '54 3600 stakebed. I was hesitant to buy it since retirement wasn't that close but my wife bullied me into it!  She's a good one! Anyway, I recently started the journey so I'm sure I'll be showing up more Cheers! Tom

We would love it, if you could tell us a bit about your truck, its history and your goals restoring your truck. And of course we bolters love pictures so include a few. Here’s a link to instructions on how to add pictures to a post.What part of NY are you from? I’m a little over an hour north west of Albany in the Adirondack Park. Again, welcome to. the ‘Bolt!
