AD or, better, A-D = Advance-Design series of Chevrolet trucks = 1947 to 1955-first-series Chevrolet trucks. The GMC trucks during those years were called the New Design series of GMC trucks.
1946 trucks were sold into 1947, until the 1947 Advance-Design Chevrolet trucks were introduced.

He is an ADist in my opinion and that is wrong!  Carl
