I've only been able to find about 2 for my generation truck! There must be more people out there documenting thier project...
Maybe we can post links here to either your website or the thread on stovebolt that follows along with your build?
Maybe if we get enough we can make it a sticky?

That interest me most, but i don't think we need to limit it to just that....
Just found a link to one bolter's blog in the "what have you done today" thread. Seems like that's becoming a catch all. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 89 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 89 | Feel free to check out mine. Just click on the link in my signature. I have a 1954 3600.
Also have a bunch more pics to upload but its kinda a process sometimes...
Feel free to ask any questions too.

Click on my Flickr link,although i'm not sure if any of the pics are relevant to what yours needs.
If it's rust repair,ADs tended to 'go' in the same places regardless of their year of manufacture.
The earlier ones just had a head start!

I prefer Flickr for that reason. Click on the share button, select the size you want, cut and paste the code. Simple as that. Photobucket seems clunky to me and its real easy to exceed their bandwidth limits when posting to other sites. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 24 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 24 | Here's the blog on my '54 gmc build. www.oldblue1954.blogspot.com | | | | | Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 62 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 62 | | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 2,877 Socket Breaker | | Socket Breaker Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 2,877 | Howdy folks.
