The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Found a treasure trove under the seat.

Sure wish we could post pics. I can't believe no one has removed this stuff over time. truck pics
There is a set of old reflectors and flares along with a lug wrench that fits the wheels. I don't know if the bottle jack would've been original. The voting ballot really blew me away as it is dated from 1952 when the truck was new. It has been laying under stuff under that seat for 59 years !!!

Looks like you had quite an adventure getting it home. Great pictures.

I came out of Pagosa Springs last Tuesday with it. Wolf Creek Pass was interesting...

I sure like those stand up reflectors, very cool.

Great score!!
Can you even buy road flares anymore?

I know the police still use them to direct lane changes after a crash but I don't know if they are still available to the general public.

I was thinking I'd set up the reflectors and flares as props at shows, but I probably need to have them in an acrylic case to keep them in my possession.

get artistic and make some fakes.

***CAUTION**** I am not certain, but right after clicking the link "truck pics" my computer got a virus called Security Shield. The virus is difficult to remove and is designed to make you believe your computer is already full of other viruses.

***UPDATE*** Bigdreamer also had this happen to him so I think my word of caution is worth consideration.

It was clean when I first clicked it and seems to be OK still.

I have had this virus before, it can hide in your computer for some time then appear. I had a tough time getting rid of it, the computer expert at my company finally fixed my computer. It infected many folders.

Same thing happened to me!

I opened webshots from my Mom's tonight to show my family and the same thing happened there. It must be an issue with webshots. I have Hitman Pro with Prevx for anti-virus and I haven't had it pop up on my computer. My Mom has MacAfee and I don't think it's very good.

McAfee is a virus, IMHO

Since it happened to Bigdreamer and me, I don't think I'm being an alarmist.

I'm certainly not trying to rain on this parade, just trying to help avoid viruses.

I finally got the Security Shield Virus off my computer after 2.5 hours of trying.

Pull the link to prevent any more crap.

Hey, Bigdreamer, those are cool reflectors. I've never seen any like that before. And an original voting ballot. How cool is that?! Those will sure be neat to have at the shows with you!

Oh, and no virus things popped up on my computer. Maybe webshots got it fixed.

I agree Tmater... McAfee is a virus, IMHO... so is Norton...as both try to "take over" your computer..lol

As to opening the pictures on webshots..... I run AVG and Spybot and no problems with the pictures or website..... showed clean

for anybody in the midwest rural king carries road flares for a few dollars each

I too found some cool stuff. I found the original lug wrench, a screw type jack, and kerosene flares! Very cool. Never know what you're gonna find in these old girls!

I'd like to see a picture of those flares !
