Hey everyone, I am new to Stovebolt and a proud new owner of a 1934 Chevy 1/2 ton step side. I had been browsing the classified ads for about the last six months or so, not quite sure what I wanted. I had started thinking ford because there were more of them out there and then out of the blue I saw my truck, drove for an hour to see it and bought it on the spot for $1500 (Canadian). It was love at first sight. The truck was temporarily put together with a handful of wood screws and zip ties. The previous owner helped me disassemble it and get the whole body into the back of my 2002 chevy pickup. Now she's home and the long journey begins. I will be here a lot for help I think, so thank you in advance for this awesome forum!

Hiya Redwelter !
Just to let you know you are not alone, we are a rather informal group of Lower Mainland / Valley B.C. Stovebolters who get together for kicks & help. A couple of the guys ( 3B and 1958GMCnut )are also into older trucks and have a lot of information when the time comes.

Thanks for all the welcome wishes everybody! Hey britcon, beautiful truck, let me know when and where if you guys are getting together, I also have a buddy on the Island with a 57 chevy just in primer and headed to paint, so that makes two more for your "informal" gang, I will look forward to it.

Hello from Scotland? I guys the Chevy fans are truly everywhere! I only had to drive one hour to get my truck, I can't imagine the logistics of rebuilding a 60 year old vehicle from across the Atlantic!
I don't know how many bolters are in B.C., is there any way to find out? And is there ever regional bolter gatherings?
Nice looking truck Jock, I will try and post some pics soon
Red.
