I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

Hello smileychick,

Get your pictures taken, load them on a pic hosting site, put together your story and post it all in the DITY. Then I will get you in the main Stovebolt Gallery.

I too like 59's. thumbs_up thumbs_up thumbs_up
Great choice!!!

Welcome to the Stovebolt

Thanks for the welcome... and YES HE Has! this truck was the answer to a weekand a half of fervent thankful prayer. When I found the truck, I had $1.48 more in the bank than I needed to make my Harley payment and the 1800$$ the guy wanted for the truck.God is great. I asked not only for a truck but a six cylinder,three on the tree, and that's just what this is.I even asked for God to help me find my ministry, and I think that this truck is the start.I'll be teaching some kids from my church how to work on it, and letting them help in the restoration and customizing of it. It'll be an adventure, but I trust God to lead the way.
