Hello my names Terry, I'm from Sacramento CA. Well a little about me I have never restored a truck, I do restore classic boats, but I want me a nice old truck to go with my nice old boat so I joined this site not to only help me figure out what truck I want but how to proceed from there. And I am sure it cant be much different from restoring boats
Lots of body work then more body work when you think you are almost done start over, Then the Engine add a tranny one thing boats don't have, Interior, electronics, then double check and see what I missed?
Anyways bare with me as i may not be as familiar with this stuff but ill catch on fast.
Im hopeng to find something from the 62 time frame as my boats a 62 and also have a 63

Welcome to the site. So are your boats old Buicks or Caddies from the 60's? Just kidding. Actually there are a lot of early 60's truck owners around here. There should be some for sale in the swap meet, just click on forums and scroll down.

Hey, I used to live on the Trent Severn Waterway, a canal system that is 240 miles long with 44 locks. Every once in a while they have antique boat parades, some nice stuff for sure. When I moved off the lake, I sold my boats, still have the canoe.

Welcome to the Stovebolt, Terry.  Finding an early '60 truck to pull your boat would be pretty cool. Shouldn't be to hard to find one I wouldn't think. Good luck with finding one.

Welcome to the site Terry, Don't need someone to drive a boat over to you by any chance! Wouldn't mind a small holiday and maybe bring some StoveBolt parts home with me! All the best with your 'Bolting and Boating adventures.

Hi Terry, welcome! Sounds like a plan! A nice age related 'bolt to tow your boats with. I'm sure you'll find the right 'rig' to suit your needs, and all the info/parts as well, right here on the Stovebolt forum. Above all else,have fun! Jock
