I'm have a '48 1 1/2 ton and a '49 3/4 ton and a '55 Chevy car that are my hobby horses. I'm looking for some one in the Spokane WA area who shares an interest in Advanced Design Chevy trucks. Interested in sharing knowledge, swapping parts, or telling war stories about working on or driving these old trucks. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | Hi Big Block, welcome.
There's a fair few 'bolters hail from around you,hopefully they'll chime in with their offers of help,parts and advice.
Either way,you've joined the best Chevy truck site.....period!
Good luck.
Jock.

Sounds like you got plenty to keep you busy. Let us know how we can help.
Have a good friend that moved to Spokane a few years back. Michael Moline if you ever run across him. He's more into the 2-wheelers but he loves just about anything old. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 164 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 164 | Welcome Big Block,

I have interest in sharing tech knowledge,narration of wrench'in on old iron. The '49 3/4 ton 216 Chevy I have been working on has come to a halt. Friday, all sheet metal was prepped and the long bed was moved to the shop. the cab was going to the paint shop Monday. Joplin,{6/22} my neck-a-the woods took a big hit Sunday. That EF-5, 200 MPH plus tore my city a new one. The shop is history, Starting a pole barn for storage for the truck Friday. The project for now is on the back burner. My mood has improved. I had hoped the networks would stop showing all of the images of destruction. I have seen all I want to see. The '49 3/4 is tucked away under the pole barn for now. Telling stories of old iron sounds great to me. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | well howdy there in scotland ive been around scotland matter of fact i have scotish ancestry mcnaught from dumfries I now live just a short drive from Dumfries Big_Block,about 50 miles. There's more than a few 'bolters here who can trace their heritage back to Scotland. (We did get about...) In fact many folks from Dumfries and Galloway (and Ireland) who settled in the USA were the original Hillbillies! Maybe that's where my love of pick-ups comes from....it's genetics!
