introducing the new kid on this forum:
my lovely wife Alice bought a '58 Apache a few months back and she lets me enjoy driving it a lot. (she is unwilling to drive it until I get the play adjusted out of the steering box.) we are mostly new to Stovebolts although I did have a 52 GMC 1-ton stepside a few years back. have been driving and maintaining Model A Fords for 26 years and had a 37 Plymouth for 7 years(sorry I let it get away). have already posted some questions on the general forum and I'm sure more will follow.......

'31 Ford Coupe, 22,000 mile unrestored original;
'31 Ford SW Town Sedan.

You've got a good lady and a good truck now,hang onto them both!

Joker's right you know,this place will help you along the way,you're obviously no stranger to old iron,it's just the badge that's different....

Pics would be nice.

Good luck.
Jock.

welcome Chris, so if you don't repair the play in the front end, it's yours! Just a thought. Good luck with it.

Time for NC to kick in here with a welcome as well! You're in some beautiful country in Leicester! You'll probably hear from "Achipmunk" shortly. Alvin has become sort of the voice of the Southern Stovebolters, a group within a group. Be sure to drop a question in the suspension forum about your steering box. Also check the tech tips too, there might be something there as well.

Anyway, greetings and welcome!

Les
