Just wanted to express my thanks for all the hard work and attention that must go into keeping the SB page up and going!

I know for sure that I have gained many new friends and so much assistance over the years due to many caring Old trucker folks on line at the page!

I know each and every active "Bolter" is appreciative of the ongoing effort you (all )put in!

Thanks Peg and John!

A big thank you to John and Peggy cool


There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Me Too, Newbie, though I be. I read it a lot as a guest and now that I have finally signed up for membership I feel like I've made some friends. Picked up a lot of good tips along the way too.

Doing a Website & every thing that goes with it is a lot of work, I know this first hand. There is a ton of stuff that gose on that most folks just don't know about.

So You got my "Thanks" for all the work you do to keep the StoveBolt Page up & running.....

Yes, Yes, YES!!! Thank you John and Peggy! By the way, my wife had her cancer surgery and just started chemo. Thank you for your prayers!! They caught it early and the prognosis is very good. Oops, gotta make this truck related...hmmm...oh, yeah, nearly got the old girl running so we can use her for a back-up to go to the chemo treatments if the Honda finally makes good on its threats to drop its CV joints all over the road. grin
Hey Brad, with 199 posts, I don't consider you much of a newbee grin


The only thing more amazing than my ability to cram 60 minutes of work into a 9 hour day is my talent for making it look effortless!

Yes, Thanks! This site has been a great resource. I've had answers to questions that the local parts guy couldn't help me with as well as some great ideas. The pictures of completed projects has inspired me to get on with ours.

I only wish I had a site like this to answer questions that I have at work. We have consultants, but I can never seem to get a straight answer out of them; not like here!

Oh yes, this site is entertaining too. Kudos to Norse et al.

My thanks too. This is my favorite web site.
How do you finance it? Do you take donations?

Thanks from me as well. I'm fairly new here also, and don't have a lot to contribute, in the way of expertise. But I have learned an awful lot from reading the various posts, both as a guest, and since I've signed up. Again, many thanks!!! Rich

Lots of you have named your trucks but I'll go you one further.
My starter pedal is named "Peggy", the carb is named "PooBah", and the starter motor itself is named "BaldEagle".

Every time I drive down the street, the "'bolt" is with me.

For the new guys and us old timers John & Peggy have made this one of the most wonderful family sights made. I truly believe if somebody is need of support or as I like to call it "prayers" then I think its ok.

We have become a family of many diversified people but with one thing in common and thats our trucks. We learn, laugh, cry, and that is why I call this my second home. Ben

As always John & Peggy THANK YOU

Amen to that!

We owe a lot of you thanks for helping get my son's '62 on the road.

And if trucks could speak, "Old Rusty" would thank you too!

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
