The Stovebolt Site Forums Welcome! Welcome Centre Do It Yourself (DITY) Gallery 1949 Chevy 1/2-Ton - update from the Gallery

My truck is an 1949 Chevy 1/2 ton short bed. I live in Vicksburg, MS. My wife and I drove to Atlanta, Georgia to buy this truck. It was not finished. We found it in "Hemming Motor News." We arrived at midnight and it was really to late to test drive it so we told the man to load it on my trailer. Mistake. It had a lot of issues, more than I expected. Some of the stuff was right though. Wonderful brakes, steering,nice bed (inside) The engine did not run as good as it looked but I've been working on that and other things. All in all I guess I got my moneys worth. I'll have some pictures updated soon. I've been working on it for the last year. No help just me. But I think that's the way it goes. I'm 60 now and not as good as I use to be. Stay tuned for some more photos. A couple of pictures of when I bought the truck are on photo Bucket, but don't ask me how to view them. I'm just lucky that I got them on Photo Bucket. Be sure and click on All Albums to view pictures.

Sounds like your getting it done. Time and patience is just as important as money!!

Go to your photobucket.... then go to the top of the page and right click on the web address...a little drop down box will show up and click COPY.... then when you type in a post here you then Right click.... the little drop down box will reappear and then you click on PASTE and like magic the photobucket link will appear in your post.
You can also put it in your signature/profile information and have it show up like mine do on the bottom of all my post. Then you don't have to keep pasting it in.......if all else fails then post the link in the DIY forum and they will fix it for you if you ask.
Don't give up. We like pictures!! good luck.

Hello Achipmunk. If I got the pictures on there it's only because of your easy to follow instructions. Thanks a bunch. Steven

Well, hello to all. My name is Steven Carlisle. I live in Mississippi. I finally got some pictures of my truck in DITY. I bought the truck in Atlanta, Ga. about a year ago. It was about 90% restored. I've had to re-do a lot of things on the truck. I'm 60 years old and a fair mech., but I had forgotten so many things about the old Chevys. Stovebolt has been my only place to find out about things I'd forgotten. The people are so willing to give advise. I thank you all. You're the best. I'm not through on the truck but am getting close. I'll start on the 1951 3/4 ton next. Lord willing. I love these old trucks. My Father let me use his 1953 to date in. Hey I was glad to get it. If you want to know anything about the truck just email me or post it on the forum. Take care my friends. Steven

When you click on my link be sure and go "All my Albums." That will bring up the albums I've posted so far. Thanks
