Greetings group,
New member here from Iowa. I think I joined this site eons ago in college when I was wanting to find and build a '71-'72 GMC, but aspirations towards that project took a back seat to school. I couldn't remember my name and password, so I rejoined.
Fast forward 15 years or so, and here I am again. I'm a fire fighter by trade, but enjoy tinkering in my free time. I'm currently working to restore an old fire truck (a 1948 American LaFrance aerial ladder truck), but I've found inspiration for a new project. My grandpa, uncle, and dad ran a service station from the late 1930's to the early 1960's. At one point, they had a late 40's Chevrolet 1/2 ton pickup in use as a service vehicle, painted up with our family name, the gas station's (Sinclair) logo, street address, etc. My uncle and cousin have recently uncovered a film negative of the truck, and I REALLY want to build one someday.
That's me in a nutshell. So... now the hunt begins for a '47-'50 3100. I'll probably be posting in the "Trucks Wanted" section soon, as well as scoping out the rest of the site. I think you folks do a great job here, and I'm looking forward to learning more and participating.
Thanks for letting me join (again)!!
Damon
