The Stovebolt Site Forums Welcome! Welcome Centre 1956 3600 (SE Connecticut)

I joined a couple of sites looking to learn and research older pick up trucks. I WAS looking in to a '56 (desired year but either a Chevy or GMC) Chevy NAPCO conversion but the owner has stopped replying. Oh well, more time to research, I guess.

Thanks for having me.

Welcome and good choice joining! Snowy huh? You should see it here in MI Good luck on your research.

Welcome Finster, so you need a 4x4 to push some of that snow around? If the owner stopped replying, you likely need to look elsewhere. We have a swap meet here, check out the for sale section, you never know. Good luck.

Welcome to the stovebolt,Finster. Your at the right place for sure. Lots of knowledge and great folks around here.

Along with what Leo said about the swap meet (Trucks for Sale) you may want to take a peek in the Ebay/Craighlist forum. We have a couple guys that are great about posting links to trucks they think Stovebolters may be interested in. We're here to help and good luck on your search.

Hi Finster,welcome from Scotland,we've just come out from a freeze,now it's wet and windy.
Don't know which I prefer.....

Good luck on your search. Keep us posted.

Welcome aboard, Finster!
Good luck finding a truck. There's still lots of good ones out there.
Hope you get dug out of the snow. We've had quite a bit in Minnesota this year also.

Welcome to the site. Hope you have some luck in finding your project!

Thank you for the welcomes.

I've about given up on my search for the Winter, we've gotten hit with another 20 inches of snow so there's no way to get one home if I did find a project.

Thanks for the tips, I am still looking.

New owner of a 1956 Chevy 3600, I have lurked for a while educating myself on the 50's trucks while looking for a project. I'm not sure of what it started out as but when I bought it it had wood dumping stake side on it. I don't believe it is a stock stake side, I remember reading that proper stake beds had rounded corners and this didn't. The bed hoist is interesting and I'm planning to incorporate into my plans on getting this beauty back on the road. I expect to be having lots of questions.....after I use the search function :computer_punch:

Thanks for having me.
