I have fell in love with these ole trucks and got the sickness real bad. I have a 1957 that I drive and recently picked up a 50 and 53 that need restoring. I am new (about a year) to the ole trucks but have owned a 61 Buick Lesabre Convertible for about 5 years. I have been on the site numerous times and have enjoyed reading the articles and seeing all the truck pics and stories. Here is a link to some pics of my truck. Just set up the site today and started uploading some pics. Later Ole Skool Trucks http://s454.photobucket.com/albums/qq267/Oleskooltrucks/

Thanks for the kind words about my truck. Unfortunately, it has a sickness kind of like diarrhea in the rear seal. I've ignored the poor truck for too long again and really need to get it back on the road. Don

YIPEEEEEEE We gonna out number the canucks yet Welcome Ole Skool: your at the right place. Down2Sea is right. Sounds like you need a few more projects so just call me up Like Lucille says, what part of S.C. do you hail from. You know that you are now one of the Southern Stovebolters and by that you have to attend out "Mini Stovebolt Reunion". Its in Spartanburg end of May. You'll be hearing more about it later but plan now to attend with the other stovebolters. Lucille, a few minutes ago I chatted with another stovebolter that lives not more than 4-5 miles from me. Hankdogg, just joined up not long ago. Has a 51pickup. Oleskool: if I can be of any help to you just let me know. Edit:...and one nice looking pickup.

I just noticed it when I checked out your pics. Your 57's real nice too. BTW it's not a sickness it's an addiction and you've come to the right place to feed your 'habit'! I look forward to following your progress. Jock
