The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Three '52's new in the Gallery

That's not the B-'52's ...

I already had two in the line up so I grabbed a third. Seemed quite appropriate since it's SNOWING there!

Glenn Carpenter's 1952 Chevy 1/2-Ton -- "GEC52" has completed a frame-off resto. Nice-looking truck. Gonna ask him for a more complete photo

Sam Simpson's 1952 Chevy 4 x 4 -- You guys will really like this one. We've got another one of the next generation Bolters here. Got any freebies to help him out?

Mark Smith's 1952 Chevy Suburban -- "MNSmith" has switched gears on us! Remember his 1929 1.5-ton ... well come read the story!

Enjoy and stay warm ,

A little addition to the end of my story there. I loaded up the '29 chevy frame in the buyer's pickup but, of course, it hung out the back 10' or so. He didn't look too comfortable with that arrangement. The nutty guy I am, I would have just tied it off real well and headed on down the road. Maybe putting a red flag on the back just to make it legal. But the buyer didn't like that idea. Keep in mind, I had welded it back together, boxed it and made it look real pretty ( if I don't mind saying myself!) I asked the kid "What are you going to do with this frame?" "Well, we're going to rat rod it. We're going to cut it in half!" I paused for a few seconds, told myself that it was sold and I already had the cash in pocket. "Okay" says I, "I have a plasma cutter. I can have it in half in 10 minutes!" Goodbye pretty welding, goodbye smooth boxing plate, goodbye one piece frame! To make it easier, I had visions of a 1952 Suburban dancing in my head!!
