Hi chally,welcome from just over the North Sea.
This is the best Chevy truck forum by far.....
Try and post some pictures when you get a chance,also what are your plans for the truck, stock or custom?
See you around
Jock.

Welcome. Please tell more details about the adventure to buy the truck, when you have time. Was the truck in Norway? On an island? Did you ship or drive it home? I always enjoy a good story about traveling to by an old truck. Thanks
Stovebolts are good for the heart

hi all have been real busy lately but i got my truck 2 weeks ago
the guy i bought it from had to fix a couple small things for me
to be able to register it in norway since he imported the truck from the us last summer.. me and my buddy left home at 06:30 in the morning with a tahoe and a trailer and drove over the mountains to the north of norway.. everything went fine on the way up but when heading back home we got in a blizzard in the mountains that slowed us down quite a while we got back home 02:00 at night boy what a trip!!! i will try and post some pics when i get time.. maybe some of you will recognise the truck
its from california i think....

Chally, your truck looks great!
The trip home through the blizzard just added to the exitement of getting your new truck home.
I bet you'll be talking about it in the years to come.
Poor truck though,it's spent it's life in sunny California,now it's freezing it's tail off in Norway! lol.
At least AFAIK Norway does not salt their roads do they?
P.S. Does it have a heater?

Congratulations chally!
Great truck you've aquired. Must have cost you a small fortune to ship it to Norway. My Lord thats a long way from CA. I'm just saying!
Looks in fabulous condition! Take care of her and I'm sure you will get alot of turning heads as you drive her around. Probably not to many of those classic Chevy trucks up there, right?
If you've got any problems you know all you have to do is log on to the Stovebolt.com and someone will help you through.

i bought it from a guy in norway so he was the one that got it from the us last summer. not to many of them but some are actually around... the old car kultur is growing here in norway and its not far from sweden that has a great scene so i hope i meet some trucks around this summer!! a friend nearby has an 1956 3100 so its not all alone!!
