Hello everyone. My name is Aaron and I have just recently gotten into the Advanced Design trucks. I have two.
A 1949 4100 (Blue)
A 1948 6400 (Green)
Here is the Google pix linkI have decided to start the refurbishment of both. I know it will be expensive and take a fair amount of time but I am really excited to get wrenching and have a project to work on.
A little bit about the '48. It's a 1948 Chevy 6100 with a St. Paul "Dump It" Hoist. I found the truck in a nearby town and purchased it from the current owner for $300. It had no title, so i had to bond it. The Truck originally came with a 216 but had been modified with a 235 when I got it. I found a GMC 270 and have since mounted it in the frame. The box that came with the truck was destroyed long ago so I purchased a Omaha Standard 10ft box and mounted it to the hoist. I intend to do light farm work with the truck and take it to the occasional antique tractor/farm show. My brother has two Case tractors (VAC/300) and a Case A6 combine that we use to demonstrate farming in the 40s and 50s. The truck with its 10ft grain box will fit in perfectly with the demonstrations! Thank you all for the encouragement and wisdom shared.
I'm very interested to meet everyone on here and learn as much as I can.
Open to any tips and advice.
Again, hello and nice to meet you all!!!
