Technically, I'm not a real new Stovebolter, but since everyone else comes here for a welcome, I figured I would too.

Koolcar, I live in Marco, Greene County. I wish that you lived closer so you could help me! Just wish the weather was better so that I could go get a '54 Chevy 3100 that I fell in love with the first day I saw it. Thing is, I'm 13 and the first time I saw it was 2 years ago. Got the money to get it last year but my mom didn't think that I would work on it. Got the money this year and now the weather's too bad right now. If you lived closer and had a trailer I could sure use your help getting it home. But since it's only like 5 or so miles away, I'm probably going to pull it home with a chain or if I can borrow a tow dolly, then I'll do that.

Thanks guys for the welcome and Koolkar, I sent you a PM and I don't know if you got it or if you just haven't read it yet. Please let me know if you did.

Ok, I will. Just waiting for Gas and Koolkar to help when they can to get it home. Also, the '54 is in about as good condition as the pics you have of your truck, just less paint and more surface rust.

Hey, you know what, that works. The important thing is you have a good solid truck to start with. You'll have lots of fun. Kinda wish mine was a 3100, too, but what the hey. I had it in the plans to change it to a shortbed to start with. Now, just to find a 3100 frame.....hmmmmm.

You're not gettin' mine! By the way, why do you want a shortbed? Never knew why people always wanted a short bed.

Welcome anyway.

Well, I haven't run into him there yet, but I don't know how we would outnumber you! You guys down in the very south have all of the good bodied trucks, so why ain't there more of you? By the way, this 13 year old ain't going anywhere soon!

Not to worry, jdl. You live too far from me...my Wife would question a roadtrip from Nebraska to Indy!  I've just always liked the look of the shorter bed. One of them things.
