I purchased my first classic just before Christmas a surprisingly easy sell to the wife (best ever). It is a 52 3100 with a 235 and 4 speed from a 60 or 61 from the info I've gotten. It's a running project. I don't have much mech anical background but am waaay excited to get started. I'll probably pick a lot of brains and gladly share any knowlege I might gain along the. Proud to be a new Stovebolter in Asheville NC.

The stovebolt world is one that is enjoyed by those already in it and perhaps a bit perplexing to those outside of it. There are tons of info here and huge wealths of knowledge within the members. Welcome to the bolt! And if you ever REALLY lose your mind, get a big bolt! Whole new world of adventure there.

Heck, your only about 65 miles from me here in Boiling Sprigs,S.C.(across interstate from I-85) ....and, your just in time for the Southern Stovbolt Reunion. April 8th right here at my house. Think you can make it? If your interested shoot me an email ( [email protected]) and I'll put you on the Southern Bolters list....and forward yu a letter about the up coming reunion. You can read a little about us if you check out the "Side Lot" forum and look under Southern Stovebolters. We'd love to have you. ...and your right there with Pirate Jack who is where I got my master cylinder/booster and pedal combination. Le me know if I can help. You have certainly found the right place for old Chev.

If you get a minute, we'd love to see pics and hear a bit more about your story and your truck. If you can make that Southern Stovebolt Reunion, I hope you do. It's a great bunch of people!  | | | | | Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 17 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 17 | Thanks for the welcome guys. I definately would like to get the information on the Southern Bolters Its good to know there's a group fairly close by, thanks for the invite Achipmunk. Hey lunchbox, while big is definately beautiful I'm going to work on the 3100 and see if I can make it happen. Definately going to try to make the reunion. Got a truck question, I need to replace the radiator, any suggestions on who produces a good paroduct without breaking the bank. my short term goal is to get her in better running condition. After that it's gaskets, seals, and valve adjustment. what little I have driven her I have had so much fun and want to have a lot more. will try to get some photos up soon. Thanks again | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,987 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,987 | Welcome to the Bolt! Your mechanical questions can be best answered on some of the other forums on this website--General Truck Talk would be a good place to start. Also do a search. There has been a lot of discussion here about radiators in the past. | | |
