Just because it's old, does not mean it has to be restored! Thanks Stovebolt members! Happy trucking! I wonder what will come next.  Anyone else want to show off their workhorses, rusty relics, projects, restorations, or just one's out there in the field while in retirement? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 466 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 466 | Here's another 46 but it's not a flat bed.

The truck is almost all original except for an earlier repaint of the cab exterior. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 78 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 78 | Here is my new 6400 project - a 1946 cab/chassis minus a bed. I believe I will make a dumping flat bed out of it. That is a decision that is a long way off because this has been sitting a long, long time. In a previous life (that ended 30 years ago) it was a gravel dump truck in Colorado. I am in the process of trailering it to Portland, OR. Home tomorrow! 10/13/11 WHY ARE THEY CALLED ART DECO???

Oh and the GMC towing the 3800 home is another flatbed...Duramax/Allison. Not mine...a friends.
