I am so excited to have stumbled on this site. About 3 years ago I got a hankering to get an AD truck to restore. There are quite a few around my neck of the woods. The second door I knocked on yielded me a '51 1/2 ton. $350 later, I drove it home. I didn't have a shop, so I drove it for a while and then parked it at a friends and started disassembly. Two years later I bought a house with a shop and moved the old girl home and got excited about her again. That's when I found this website with seemingly hundreds of people that share my sickness. I love it!! None of the company I keep quite understand my love for this truck. Their loss! Thanks to all of you kindred spirits, I have a re-newed excitement about working on this truck. The new shop helps too. I really hope that I can help and inspire others here, and I will post pictures of my progress soon. Nice to meet you all!
