Welcome to the bolt. It's always nice to hear from more local dudes. Where abouts are you in San Francisco?

Noe Valley area. I had the '49 3100 truck here, working on it in the garage, until my rattle-can paint fumes started leaking into the next door neighbor's house. Not so good for their kids.
So I moved it up to my rural spot in west Sonoma county. Slowly making progress on it, along with a '51 F*rd and a '66 Chev 1-ton dumpbed.
There are a few nice old trucks in this otherwise-tony neighborhood. A blue '53(?) up at Sanchez and Hill, a beautifully restored red '4? Ford flatbed in lower Noe Valley, a green '51(?) beatup GMC usually parked near 16th and Market, and a late '40s-early '50s Studebaker pickup in the same general area.
Are any of those yours?
