I recently bought a '52 Chevy 3100 in Michigan. Searching the Stovebolt forums answered many of my questions while I was shopping for a truck. I'm looking forward to interacting with the group.
My connection with AD trucks goes back many years. Although I had never owned one myself until now, my dad, uncle, grandfather and great uncle all had them. I guess I learned to drive in one before I could see over the steering wheel, cruising the fields at my uncle's farm in Ohio.
The truck I bought is an older restoration with a 327 engine, Muncie transmission, and 3.36 rear end added. As best I can surmise, the restoration was probably done prior to 1990, but still looks decent, although dated some. I have some minor things that need to be addressed (tightening the steering, cleaning up the wiring mazes, etc.) I plan to use it as a daily driver during the non-snow months.
Thanks to the group for the help you've already been and the expertise you freely share.
