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!

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.

So You got my "Thanks" for all the work you do to keep the StoveBolt Page up & running..... | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 181 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 181 | 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.

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.

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 | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 578 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 578 | 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.

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
