The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Big Bolt Calendar is ready

I've gotten the first Big Bolt Calendar done. If you still want to submit a picture for the calendar, go ahead -- I have a couple of placeholders in the calendar that can come out to make room for new submissions.

For more info on size requirements, how to submit, please read our Calendar Submission Guidelines

Thanks,

John

Just checked it out and it is superb. Great job on the pics.

Thanks George. It could use a picture of your NAPCO 6100 playing in the snow, though...

Very nice work ogreatcalenderputertogetherguy. I ordered me a few today.
I think my favorite shot is Dec '11 on the Stovebolt wall calender. Great picture of a true gentleman!!

John, The beast is better at sitting in the snow than running in it. I haven't driven it since it backed off the trailer after Winchester. It does provide protection from the elements for the dogs and cats though.

The calendar looks great, I'm partial to Oct. LOL I was actually out all day splitting wood at my neighbors house. I was bringing wood home and using the dump box to its full potential. I got hot stacking wood took my jacket off an hung it on the back. Then I thought hmm nice pic. Thanks John for including my pic.

Hey John, Nice job on the calender. I ordered a couple. February and July are my favorites. Thanks for including my truck. SEE YA! Mark

George -- Push it out into the snow -- in the picture, nobody will know if it runs or not (e.g., look at my firetruck ...)

RT -- You bet! That is one of our fav pics and Peggy is going to put together a Working Bolts Calendar with it in it.

Mark -- thanks for sending it in!

Happy 2011!
John

HI There
I'm new to Big Bolts and am restoring a 1950 Chevy, 2 ton 6400 flat deck purchased in Ontario with a history of being a farm truck from Manitoba.Looking for a brake pedal stop and long mirror arms for safely haulling a trailer. Any suggestions.

Hello Plumberguy and welcome to Stovebolt.com!

Be sure to post a thread about yourself and your truck in the Welcome Centre forum.

The Big Bolts forum is a good place for general questions, but be sure to post your "Parts Wanted" ads in the "Swap Meet" section.

On the brake pedal stop, are you talking about the rubber piece that goes on the engine side of the firewall? If so, most of the parts vendors will have it -- check the Links section for Parts. It's the same part as for the pickups.

On the mirrors, if you aren't wanting strict originality, I've seen a few trucks of your vintage with the after market "West Coast" style mirrors you can get from NAPA (Canadian Tire?) that look pretty good. If you want to stay original, there are long arms that are correct for your truck -- just go with the larger diametre mirrors you can get from the parts vendors.

Some of the other guys might have better suggestions so I'll leave the floor open for them. You might want to repost your question in a new thread -- this one was originally to announce the calendars were ready so probably not too many people are checking it any more.

Thanks for stopping by and we all look forward to having you here -- keep the questions coming!

Regards,
John
