Of course the first thing to do is go touch it, run your hands along those curvy lines and say, "This is really mine. I'm going to have fun with this truck."
Set in it awhile and just drink in all of the fun you can imagine. Check the steering wheel for excess play, push the brake pedal a few times, shift a few times, and really look the truck over well.
Next come back to the computer and tell us all about it. Condition, running, pieces, rust, seat condition, etc. We WANT to hear details from you or anyone else that has a Stovebolt.
Have fun. The fellows here are encyclopedias of information just awaiting to be tapped, so ask away.
Have fun.
Word hard, play harder, enjoy life!

I know the feeling. I have had my 58 for about a month. Still feel like I haven't a clue. I did pick up (staff suggestion) the Brownell book "How to Restore Your Chevrolet Pickup". It has been very helpful. Good Luck! JB | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 314 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2005 Posts: 314 | Careful "Drinking in all the fun"...
