The Stovebolt Site Forums Welcome! Welcome Centre High Desert BigBolt...

Hi Folks-

I've recently taken possession of a 1957 6400 (see here) dump bed truck.
This isn't my first stovebolt project, years ago I built a nice 235 to replace a 51 216, was a daily driver for a long time.

I grew up in high zoot auto restoration shops from the age of nine years old. Ran a lathe in my grandfather's engineering shop for the first time at four and a half years age. I've had grit in the fingernails as long as I can remember.

I look forward to getting this 57 together, sure I'll need a bit of help on the way.
Thanks for having me along!

Welcome John, looks like a nice work truck right there. The 261 should be quite reliable, I have one in my panel. Good luck with it and don't be shy with questions. I see you've been in the big bolt section, lots of help available there.

Thanks for the warm welcome!
Yes I found the Big Bolt asylum. Actually found that first in search of info on this old 6400 - then joined the group so's to get in the conversation.

I'll get more photos up as things progress.
Once I negotiate my way into the title on this truck I'll petition the ring leaders here for gallery space, then do a proper documentation as I figure out what I have.

Hi John and welcome to Stovebolt.com!

Nice truck! Shouldn't be too hard to get you into our Gallery All we need is a write up on your truck (the usual what is it, etc) but we also like to hear about any of the circumstances that led you to this truck, what it took to get it home, titled, etc. We want the adventure story, man!

We love pictures, too, so send it all to Peggy. Our email here at HQ is [email protected]

Glad to have you onboard. And with a name like that, you must be a heck of a nice guy

Regards,
John
