Got ours today # 16 & 17 and they look great! It will be a while before I get them mounted as it has turned into winter here in Mid Missouri.
Thanks Luke, for a quality product that I will be proud to display on the trucks.

Victor, looks great! Reminds me, we are also trying to get the Stovebolt License plate. Another Bolter was working on that. Stay tuned.

I'd be interested in one of the toppers but as of late I can't get the private message feature to work. Maybe you can message me? Otherwise try [email protected]. Thanks, Lonnie

Lonnie, Welcome to the Stovebolt. Forum rules require you have 5 posts before PM is turned on. It helps keep out the bots.

Only the "sweet 16" toppers remain available for purchase. That is correct. 104 toppers are accounted for; when they are gone--they are gone! 120 is the end of the road. Spread the good word before it is too late to get in on the fun.

Toppers have been shipped all over the USA, as far away as our 49th state of Alaska. Toppers have been shipped to multiple provinces in Canada, Europe (Switzerland and France), and to New Zealand.

Luke tells us "only the Sweet 16 Toppers remain. When they are gone, they are gone ... and then this 2025 Topper becomes a collector's item."

Luke, you have done a great job getting all this done. Folks do seem to appreciate it -- we are glad you were so willing to take this project on!

Inventory Update:

We are down to single digits...only 9 toppers remain! All are looking for a good home. The toppers are available on a first come-first serve basis. Paid toppers are shipped out daily. They would make for a really nice present in someone's Christmas stocking smile

Finally mounted my toppers after some customizing. I cut the mounting ears off then drilled and countersunk where the fake bolts were and then mounted them on the hood like a badge. Yes the hood has seen better days but the truck is still on the road.
