The Stovebolt Site Forums Welcome! Welcome Centre Hello from Idaho

It has been a dream for over 20 years to own a Advanced Design truck. But spending time in the military moving around it just was not in the cards...until now. I retired after 25 years from the USAF last fall. For my 23rd wedding anniversary my wife gave me the best present ever. I am a proud owner of a 1952 3100 AD. I am so stoked to start making it a daily driver. It has a straight body and a 1968 230 inline six. Looking forward to learning from everyone who has already built their dream. I do not have a photobucket account yet so pictures will have to wait. Lol

Hi Jayson, they say good things happen to those who wait. Yes, there is a lot to learn, at least you came to the right place. Be sure to have fun with it.

Jayson;

Congratulations! Thank you for your service. I know how you feel. I'm coming up on 28 years in the Army. My truck is in storage in Kansas City while I do two years in Kuwait. I just found out I'll be going to Germany next so it will be in storage for another 2 years. I really miss it!

Good luck on your build. Post all your questions in the appropriate forum and you will get a wealth of good information.

Picture links work good. Now you just need a few more posts and you will have full access to all the forum stuff.

Welcome to the Virtual Garage.

Thanks, I am sure I will be posting a lot I have not really started to tear the truck apart so I will wait to start a build thread until then. But I am sure I will have lots of questions. There are a lot of things I am still looking for the truck is only about 60%. Missing a lot of parts.

....."tear the truck apart"???

I like it the way it is. Drive it!
Thanks for the pictures and as Larry said, just let us know how we can help....just ask in the garage forums and sit back and let all the knowledge and resources here work for you.

I will continue to drive it.....but I am looking to slowly update the engine and drive train, and redo the seats, bed ect.....
