I apologize for not introducing myself sooner. It such a useful and friendly resource. It kind of reminds me of going with dad to the barber shop. (The one who still used a straight-edge razor). There's a lot of history to learn, and so many stories, I lost count.

I may have asked this already, but where abouts in Central Texas? I too am in Central TX (San Antonio)... (and may be in need of that tow truck someday...!)
Either way, welcome!

Ahh... Lost Pines! Beautiful country! Being a Hot-Shot driver I get through there from time to time... Hopefully you wont be in NEED of the fire truck, as 1: at the rate it is going it will be 10yrs before it goes anywhere... 2: currently it is in the valley (McAllen area) But... either way... I think we need to try to figure out how many "Bolters we have in the Central TX area and have a get together, if there isn't one already that I just don't know about yet... the map is kinda barren in this area!

I tried to make reservations to Bastrop SP this next weekend, but had to change plans to Fairfield Lake SP. Bastrop was always my grandparents favorite area to pull their 5th wheel. I'm planning on making reservations for later in the year soon.

Yep - I live about 6 miles from the entrance of Bastrop State Park. We just love the hills and trees - not your typical Texas landscape. thumbs_up

Wow!

That's what I call dedication. Your '51 looks awesome! Looking forward to more pics. My tow truck is going to nickel and dime me(50's and 100's) for quite a while. I have it on an allowance. I'm 39, and my Father has owned it since I was 1, and did only maint. and few repairs. I have a long road ahead of me, but isn't it all about the ride?
