Keith--

I think it would be great if we could get fellow Michiganders together. It would be a lot of fun to get people together in a central location for a meet. Might I suggest Houghton Lake?

LUKE

i have seen it in a lot of magizines,you did a
good job on it,is't your truck over by westbranch,

Hi Keith! Just giving you a shout out to let you know there are fellow bolters in your area. I am from Jeddo up in the Port Huron area. My '64 C-10 is currently tore to pieces and I won't be ready for cruising for this summer. I plan to have the restoration done by this October. When next summer rolls around I will be ready. Stay in touch.

maybe this summer i can stop by and look at your project
we camp up in lakeport at the state park in august,have
to get together to talk trucks.

there must not be any stovebolters in the detroit
area,i was hoping to find some to cruise with in
the area,i seen a few trucks out on the downriver
cruise last weekend,i was out there all day on
saturday and friday night ,had a good time.

this saturday is the michigan ave. cruise
and on july 28 is the telegraph cruise,
we like to cruise up here in michigan.

Where do you want to meet up on July 28. I'll go, that's if it doesn't rain. (I live on a dirt road) in Saline, Michigan. I cruised Telly from Van Born to 8 Mile in my younger years in the 1960's and early 70's. I also do the Woodward Dream Cruise every year. I usually go down there from Wednesday thru Saturday. I'll do the Berkley Parade on Friday evening. Can't make the Michigan Ave. cruise. I have other commitments.

if you cruised telagraph in the 60-70
you must have went to paco's tacos
on tel.and west chicago,
i am going to be out of town on
the 28 of july ,so i am going to miss
the cruise,we could have got together
for the downriver cruise on fort st.
we had a blast a lot of trucks
out there that day.
what year is your truck?

My truck is a 1939 3/4 Ton Stake. All stock. Restored it over 35 years ago. Still driving it, don't trailer it. Didn't stop in too many drive-ins back when. Was too busy running our rides from light to light, and watching for cops. I had a 66 Chevelle Super Sport and my friend a 67 Camaro. We ran Telly every Friday and Saturday evening. The last vehicle I ran was a 35 Chevy coupe with a 261 six, dual exhaust and dual carbs. The 261 had enough power to lift the front end off the ground. I miss that ride.

Hey there!

We (my son and I) are just starting to disassemble his 1950 3100. Would love to meet a talk to locals for advice and encouragement!

Any of you guys cruising Telegraph July 28? If it doesn't rain I'll be there.

where in the detroit area are you,
would like to get together and talk
trucks,do you go to any car cruises
or swap meets in the area?

I live outside Saline, MI. Cruised Telegraph and had a good time. I'll be going to the Woodward Dream Cruise too. I'll be there Thursday thru Saturday. I stay at a friends home in Berkley. My phone number is 734-429-1353. Was at Walker's Tavern in Brooklyn this past Saturday with the 39. There was a 51 and 54 AD there. The 54 had 10,000 original miles. Nice truck. Rick

We are in Troy-missing cruise this year...

Heading for the Woodward Dream Cruise Aug. 16, Thursday. Be in that area thru Saturday. Any of you guys going to be there?

This year will be the first one in years that I'll miss. Docs found a benign tumor on my spine last month and I'm dealing with recovery.

The Woodward Dream Cruise was a good one this year. Nice weather, temps in the 70's, sunny skies. Lots of AD's there. Modified, unrestored, restored. All beaut's to a stovebolter. When there's 35-40,000 classic vehicles, you can't possibly see them all. Over 1.5 million spectators. I put 300 miles on the 39 in the last 3 days. No mishaps, except when coming home my radio died 4 miles from home.

how was the cruise?
this weekend is the cruizeinthepark
hope to see a lot of people there?

summer is coming to a close real soon
it is nice to see other trucks out the
last week,i saw a nice 1949 Gmc at the
friday night cruise at sears, also saw
a nice 1954 chevy p.u. with a auto. trans
do not see to many of those around,also
it was a deluxe cab nice to talk to him
he got the truck from georgia.
hope other truckers get their trucks out?

GO TIGERS

Ain't no party like a Detroit party!

HOPE TIGERS CAN BEAT THE GIANTS
IN THE WORLD SERIES

I'm in the Lansing area and would really like to meet other Bolters. Just got my 59 on the the road in time to put it away for the winter. Really looking forward to driving it in the spring. As for the Tigers, they have to get them bats going, losing the first two is hard to take. Hope it's not another 06.

Mike

it was

Wait 'til next year...go Tigers!

I like that idea. Name a time, date and place so we can plan on it. I'll be unable to go May 13th thru May 20th. Dave
