The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk "You'd Hardly Know They're Trucks"

recently a customer who knows I'm into old GM trucks came in and gave me the Apr 1956 issue of Popular Science w/ an article in it I thought some of you GMC nuts would like to see - it was a hoot to browse the ads and remember school days - there was even an ad for the first 'weapon of mass destruction' we young delinquents all had - the Wham-o slingshot
anyway, off to the dance in a truck - hope nobody gets too excited about copyrite issues as credits shown!

Hey Squeeze, good to see you pop in

And there is the rest of the grill I need for the 56 1-ton Panel

haven't had much time for drivin the computer the past couple months ['cept for bookeeping ], but I'm back down to 12 hour days now for the rest of the grind - another 3 months looks like - never seen so many apples! wearin the tire rite off the wheelbarrow, back and forth to the bank

So who's the stovebolter in the picture? And does he still have the truck and girlfriend?

After reading the next page of your thread I found the above. Now there's a trivia question just waiting to be asked.

I like that sling shot ad... it mentions the evil "H" word. Ya, know "Hunting"...If those PETA people saw that they'd get their panties in a bunch. :p
