I just picked up my first Stovebolt! I have been looking for a few years now, but whenever they pop up for sale, someone has made it their own and now want an arm and a leg for it.
My luck finally turned around last week! While checking out my favorite classifieds, I found a 1951 5 window 1300 series for sale. It has been hiding in a barn for the last 15 years and the owner decided it was time to release her. I jumped on it and now I am the proud owner of my dream truck.
Now the fun begins!!
I look forward to chatting with you guys in the days, weeks and months ahead as I try and bring this tired beast back to life.
Until next time,
Dukk
Calgary, Alberta

The 3100 you have is a nice one to work on. Lots of stuff available and plenty of folks here willing to share their knowledge.

That sunroof is going bye bye! It never came with one from the factory and it won't have it when I'm done with it! It needs some TLC but I think I have a really good starter! | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 1,576 back yard wrench turner | | back yard wrench turner Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 1,576 | Wow!
