My father had a '52 Chevy pickup when I was born and sold it shortly thereafter. 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: 7,442 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,442 | 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.

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? 😠| | |
