The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Hello All..

Just got my '58 (same model as I am). New to old trucks, but not new to old stuff, been workin on keeping an old vette running for years..

... Lookin forward to learning a lot here and hopefully helping a little.

Here\'s a pix of my \'58 , since in my lurkings, it appears to be a must..

Welcome!
What year is the vette?

Welcome to the Stovebolt Page, Vette!

Be sure to check out the rest of the site, too. Also, a better place for photos of your truck is in our Gallery (along with a write up about the truck -- how you found it, what you do with it, plans for it, etc) -- Send those to Peggy ([email protected]) and she get you going.

Regards,
John

THanks Colin - the vette is an 80..last year of the naturally aspirated (81 had a carb, but computer controlled)..

John, I sent her an e-mail already...didn't include a write up, but will if she lets me..

Welcome Vette, Nice looking 58 love the color.

Vette,
I think she will -- I'll put in a good word for you (I have a little influence...)


John

Welcome to you and your beautiful truck!!!
Hobert

Thanks John..she shot me an e-mail already. it appears that even the boss listens to ya..


And thanks to you Apache!

here\'s an interior shot without taking bandwidth (just for practice)

Welcome aboard Vette. Always good to see more Task Force trucks here.

Thanks Bruce...task force eh?..i like that..

welcome vette & man that is definitely a nice truck same color I wanted to paint my 58 swb stepside "OutLaw". "TaskForce" is what the 2nd series (55-59) truck was called btw . I'm fixing to sell my "project" that's been grounded since day 1 .... here pretty soon I believe if you may need parts or spares never enough parts lol

Thanks 58Apache...I'm pretty wound about that old truck..

Is there a first series 55-59? I believe that in looking through some parts stuff, there was a different dash...Where can I find more about this?

Hi Avette. I'm a bit new here as well. Nice site with lots of info. Thankfully I'm not yet "67" as my truck is. Only 53. Maybe I'll make it to 67???

Nice looking 58! What kind of buckets did you install and where did you find them?

Davey

Thanks Davey...those were out of a Sunbird...found in a junk yard

Very impressive. My 59 (and I am 59 model (at least when they would have been available)) is no where near as nice. More of work truck. I like that shifter. Reminds me of the old rat fink stuff from the 60s.

Thanks man.. I checked out your "work" truck and thought it was darn nice as well..

I had a similar shifter in a '72 that i used to have..many of the young uns won't know what that rat fink is...sadly, i do..

Hi there Vette, I welcome you to the BOLT and say "WOW thats a Beautiful 58 you got there."

Cliff59

Thanks cliff...I'd like to see some pics of your '59.. do have any in the gallery or just post 'em...

I tell ya vette that I am not the one to work a P.C. and I will have to wait till Arnswine and I get together so that he can shoot my Bolt "do his magic" and get my 59 in the gallery. This week the TEXAS CONNECTION OF THE BROTHERHOOD OF STOVEBOLTERS are getting together to go to the seasons first (and coldest) Swap Meet. There Arnswine will get a Group Photo of the TEXAS bolts. (and mine)

Cliff59

I hear that Cliff. I can shoot the pics but getting them out there into cyberspace is another thing. I do know how to email them so guess theres still hope.

if you two can e-mail 'em to me, i'll host them for ya...
