This Journal will detail my work, thoughts, and methods while fixing up and playing with a 1 ton AD truck.
The broad plan is to fix what needs fixing, drive it, make some improvements/modifications, drive it and continue to fix/improve/drive and so on until it's mostly all driving. Not looking to do a frame off restoration or anything that would take the truck off the road for an extended period of time.
Brief background --
In 1999 I started driving a 1952 Chevy 1-ton pickup and came to really like these old trucks and the 1-ton pickups in particular. Learned a lot in the process of racking up many thousands of miles in that old truck.
However, the cab was quite rusty and because of previous "repairs" was not a good candidate for further repair. It was bad enough in 2006 that I took the truck off the road with long term plans of finding a good cab or an altogether better 1-ton pickup.
Fast forward to 2015. I realize that if I'm ever going to find and buy a nice 1-ton I need to actually search for and
buy a good one.
Next post will cover my thoughts and methods for finding one.
Grigg
