Another new guy here, we recently picked up a solid 1941 1.5 ton out of Washington. Mechanically the engine and drivetrain was rebuilt by the local high school in 1976 as a shop project. Then she was returned to the original owner who put it back out to pasture. It was admired by local who saw it sitting in the field for 40 years and it was purchased.That was 8 years ago and new cab and floor was added along with some other upgrades. Today the truck is sitting in Northern California awaiting the vin game and basic restoration to use as a hay truck for our ranch. Lots to learn and thank you in advance for your time and knowledge, we have a ton of questions.

Welcome to the 'Bolt. Good looking truck you have.

Are you going to make the flatbed for it?

Welcome to Stovebolt! wave That is a very nice looking truck. thumbs_up Wondering if you have any more details on the High School rebuild? Be sure to give this post a good read before you start asking. It will help in finding just where in the forums to ask which questions. Looking forward to your questions. wink

Thanks, I will. The previous owner is currently documenting the history of the truck. I’ll update you.

I love the forest green, but I'm not complaining. It took a while to find a solid unit
