The Stovebolt Site Forums The Side Lot Southern Bolters How many NC bolters?

I'm located in Raleigh.
Anyone else nearby?

Kurt

Kurt, Les, and Paul or in Raliegh and some close to or in Greensboro, I think a couple in Winston, and I know of one or two in Salisbury.

It helps to keep an eye on the state when someone makes a post. I usually jot them down and put them in a "southern Stovebolt list". Just last night I noticed a new guy from N.C. and sent him an email to see if its OK to add him to "my southern stovebolt list".
It won't take long and you'll have a idea of all those around you. Good luck.

If you will email me your address I can put YOU on my southern list and then you can see all the ones I already have from around our area. So far I have over 70 names. Shoot me a PM.

Kurt,

Drop me a line; maytags(at)nc.rr.com

Les

Alvin & Kurt,

Another Raleigh guy I just noticed is Raleigh58. I dropped him a note and told him about this forum.

Hey guys, john here (dukedaddy) I am in garner NC- please include me on any events or mailing list. I am working on a 51 suburban, and have a 49 1.5 ton (planning to sell the 49- have not list on stovebolt yet)

Keep in touch- john

Yoo hoo from over here in Charlotte...

dukedaddy, I've got you on the list. Plan to come to the Reunion which will be the last weekend in April or the second weekend in May....."possibly" the first weekend in May? We'll nail it down soon. I'll post it here and send out to my list.

I'm not too far away in Lizard Lick,N.C. I don't post much but do read quite a lot.

Thanks for checking in. I have sent you a PM.

I'm down here in Wilmington.

..oldchevytrucks, gosh, I was close to you about two weeks ago. My wife and I were in Shalotte visiting her father. We plan to maybe make another trip later this month...and I have a former bother-in-law in TopSail. Never been to his place though.

Glad to hear from you.

That was quite a drive huh? I've been to Shalotte a few times. Topsail is nice. Ever been to the Goodguys show in Concord?

Been to Goodguys several times but the past couple years I just couldn't make it. Maybe the next one.

Kurt,

I'm the "new" guy in Raleigh (Raleigh '58). Starting my frame-off restoration of a '58 Chevy Apache Stepside I bought from an NC State Forestry graduate student in 1986. I have never driven my truck and had to tow it home behind my 1978 Ford Bronco. cool picture, Ford towing a Chevy.

Anyway, I did see your message to me earlier regarding an invitation to the reunion.

Home e-mail I see on weekends: mclean5857@bellsouth.net.

John

John,

Great to have you check in.

Are you saying you bought this truck in 1986 and its been waiting patiently all this time for you to get to it? Wow.

What part of Raleigh are you in? I'm near Ridge Road and Wade Avenue....

Kurt

Yes, I have owned this truck since 1986, and it has been cmpletely disassemble that entire time. She has waited very patiently to be rejuvinated. We are in the Northridge area near Ravenscroft School. Been there since the Fall of 2001.

Fayetteville NC here....know theres a couple of others in the area

Anyone within 50 miles of Rte 158 at the Outer Banks?

Guess I better speak up, from here in Burlington, North "Cak a Lak" !

Spanky, I've been wondering when you would chip in here. I did some work for Collins and Aikman near Greenville, N.C. and drove by Burlington many times. Didn't know you then or we could have been eating hot dogs and drinking cold Pepsi's!!

..think you can make the Southern Reunion this year? Heck, for some reason I don't even have you on the Southern list?? We can fix that!!

I live in Holly Springs...pretty close to Raleigh. Just finished a 51 that I worked on since July. Banged it up on New Years day. Front end is pretty messed up...so I'll be looking for a hood, front bumper, grill, and a drivers side front fender.

That would have worked. Burlington is Famous for good hot dogs. I even won a hot dog eating contest back in the '90's in Greensboro. Still can't believe I ate 22 fully loaded hot dogs. I must have been crazy. I'll have to see what i'm doing come reunion time. I'm working pretty hard on this '52 GMC COE. I want to finally finish one for a change. Sold all the others, so I can concentrate on just one. I still have a '51 1/2 ton Chevy, & '63 Impala SS, on the back burner.

Checking in from Mooresville/Brawley peninsula

Desert_buick, heck, your not far from me. Think you can make it to the Southern Stovebolt Reunion April 28th? PM me with your email and I'll add you to the Southern list.

Thanks for checking in.

Out here in small town of Alexis.NC, half hour outside of Charlotte.

I like the fact that the Carolina bolters have the biggest turn out in the Southern forum...

I just added you,Desert-Buick,oldchevytrucks and damorris.

NCridgerunner, if you don't mind I'll add you to the Southern Stovebolters list. Our 5th reunion is coming up April 28th. I think there are a couplem more from your areas planning to come. Maybe ya'll could convoy?? How about it? Just run those ridges right up here to Boiling Springs Get Spanky to come along and drive his wrecker. We'll call him the "pick up man". hehe

I'm down here Vass, NC, just north of Pinehurst. I've got a 52 5 window original and 53 5 Window project

Carolinaflyer, glad to know your next door to S.C. It'd be nice if you could make it to our 5th Southern Stovebolt Reunion on the 28th of April. If your interested shoot me a PM with your email address and I'll sent you the latest note I sent out about it.....Alvin

AS a footnote, my brother was a C130 Flight Engineer for years. What a plane.

Hey Alvin --- you've got one here in Beautancus, Duplin County, NC

Have a "49 4400 that I purchased in a combo deal. To get the truck I had to also get a Gleaner "G" combine with a Chevy 350(does this count as a stovebolt). Sold the corn head off the combine and got my money back for the deal.

We're getting quite a list of Southern Bolters. If ALL ya'll show up at my house the 28th April I'm gonna have to have Ingles meat market on stand by for burgers and dogs

This is John in Asheville

John, see you at the Southern Reunion April 28th. If your down my way before you better stop by and chat for a while. Maybe a cold Pepsi.

Pete in McLeansville, just outside of Greensboro. Don't post much read. I always want to come to stuff, just ain't worked out.

Pete, I've been wondering about you. Glad your still around. Maybe things will work out for you this year. Thanks for checking in. Its been a while since I was in Greensboro.

I was in Lowell, NC the other day (Friday) at the Indian Motorcycle dealership. I have business in that area at least once a month Alvin. This retirement stuff is for the birds. I should go back to work for the state where I could rest! If your ever up this way the coffee is on me.

Hi all. I'm in Southern Pines for as long as the Army leaves me here. Finally stationed at home and trying to work 4 more years here then retire and drive the old girl everyday.

I am in Sherrills Ford NC just north of Charlotte
