I've wanted to find one for myself for a while, and now that I have the space I think I can finally pull it off. Ive done a couple of motorcycles, not full concourse stuff but just getting them back on the road.
I'm located in Chesterfield VA. I met Steve in Concord VA a few weeks ago but the red 3100 I went to see got grabbed by a flipper.
Side note, anyone in PA with an inside track/special skills for DMV stuff that might know how I could locate my Dad's old truck he sold around '84? We don't have any paperwork or the VIN. I know it's a long shot.

Good luck on your search. Its a long shot but one never knows. Dig around in "old papers" that you may find or some of your kind folks may give you a lead??
The AD style pickup is a good choice. Lots of them made and many parts available. Ask questions in the garage forums and we'll do the rest. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2021 Posts: 58 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2021 Posts: 58 | Thanks, chip. Looking for an AD that I can turn back into a work truck. Would also consider the tri-five years... I always really like the '55/'56 two-door cars and that front clip. I really can appreciate original / survivor trucks but would be up for swapping the cab and bed onto a '70s 4x4 donor. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,441 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,441 | Welcome to the Stovebolt madness.

I was able to find mine a couple of years back and shortly after found this forum. Great people with great knowledge of these trucks. There is a “Tech Tip” on Buying a Stovebolt, along with other articles that will help you get familiar with these old truck that will help in your pursuit. Here is a link. https://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/#shopping

Looks to be in decent enough condition to restore or leave as-is; it's listed in running and driving condition. Anyone up near Richmond up for a road trip? 😠| | |
