Just bought a '53 Chevy 5 window, Mariner Blue in Statesville NC. It set in a dry barn and was running in 1984, parked and never moved. 216 engine. I've done a massive amount of research on the truck and it's history and look forward to sending pics to Stovebolt, along with a massive amount of questions! | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 | Welcome to Stovebolt.

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.

Say, I'm not but about 60 miles from Charlotte N.C. so what part of N.C. are you located. We will have a Southern Stovebolt Reunion here in Spartanburg later May or early June!! Love to have ya.
EDIT: See your familiar with the C-130's! My brother was a flight engineer on the C-130 for years...After active duty he was full time Air Guards out of Charlotte.
