The rain year started on October first and we are already at about 3.5" of rain,about 1" over normal. I am a few months from retirement and look forward to having time to work on my 3/4-T 38 Chevy. I have always preferred Chevy but have built a lot of different rods over the years. This will be my first stovebolt. If I got it right, the following link will show my newest project. http://s1325.beta.photobucket.com/u...ion=themeadd&catId=0&searchTerm=

Your fenders are straighter than mine were.
What are your plans for it?

Welcome to the Bolt! My Dad's first pickup was a '38. Keep us posted on your progress, and don't be afraid to ask for help. There's loads of it here.

Some day when mine is drivable I'll have to find all the stovebolters around here.

My mom's great-uncle had a '38 1-1/2-ton with a corn-sheller mounted to it. It was a "Running-when-it-was-parked truck back in 1960!! I used to act like I was driving it,(I was 4'or 5 years-old),every chance I got,at least until the wasps took-over! It sat until their estate auction in the late'70's. I think it sold for $100.00! The body was still in very nice shape-no dents,just surface rust. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 9 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 9 | That truck brings back memories!!

The body was still in very nice shape-no dents,just surface rust. I'd love to find a truck with a corn sheller still on it-any brand! There used to be several operators around here who custom-shelled corn. Of course, when they all quit, I was still too young to be thinking about buying any of their equipment. We also had a couple trucks in our area with feed grinders on them. Haven't seen one of those for quite a few years either.
