Hey everybody my name is Will. I'm 22 years old, newly married, and enjoy hanging out with my wife and family, the outdoors, camping, fishing and classic cars. I have a 1952 Chevy pickup that was my grandfathers. It has been in my family since the late 50's and was handed down to my father and has been handed down to me. The truck is from Idaho so it has very little rust from the climate and was parked a lot of its life in a barn. It has been just sitting around in storage for many years and is showing its 50 year age and needing restored. I want to get it fixed up and have already started the disassembly. It’s nice to be here with you all and thanks for having me.

Welcome! OK that truck does NOT look like it's showing it's age at all, nor does it look like you need to tear it apart lol Looks like it could be a good runner just like that  Lucky you!!!

Hi Will, I want your truck  What a great project and history too!! We will be here for ya, hopefully with all the answers you'll need. Are you thinking about restoring her stock? or custom? With the history I would tend to lean to completely original. Have fun and welcome aboard!!

Hi Will, firstly congrats on your recent marriage.
Sounds like you'll fit right in here.
It's always good to see a young 'un continuing the Stovebolt faith.
It also great your truck has 'history'.
The Idaho weather has been kind to the old truck,so hopefully it won't be too much of a challenge.
Whatever you do,I'm sure your grandad will be proud.
Keep us posted of your progress.
Jock.

good to see another younger guy such as myself undertaking such a project. I have a 53 I am just about 3 weeks into. Got the front fenders and body panels off back to the firewall and have started sand blasting the panels. lets keep in touch.

Seriously when did critical thinking and customer service go out the window? How about common sense and striving to go the extra mile? Idiots, surrounded by idiots it tell you.
