Hello and thank you to all those on this board who have unknowingly guided me through resto-rodding an AD truck .I bought a 1952 Chev 1300 (Canadian equivalent of a 3100) 3 years ago without any idea a stovebolt was or what I was getting myself into. I had never welded or done bodywork but wanted this style of truck badly enough that I learned. I am now blocking it for paint. I bought just about every patch panel available for an AD cab. I took lot’s of pictures while in progress and have finally started sorting them. Hopefully some of them can help those who are just starting to cut apart a rotten cab. Here’s a link. Comments, questions or suggestions welcome. http://client.webshots.com/user/curt160 Curt B.

For not being a fabricator when you started you have done a great job.
Keep it up!
You know I was just in your town on business last week. Beautiful area. Then I went on to Ft Mcmurray. Great weather... right now!

Isn't it great living in the ice and salt belt?  Sure makes life harder for those who like fixin' up old iron. BTW, is that a Freightliner roof mounting CB box you've got your radio in? Welcome to The 'Bolt. Regards, Wannabe

I wanted a modern color and took this boards advice by going to a chev dealership and picking my color there. Wannabe, I asked for a universal underdash mounting box at my local stereo store and I think it worked out good. Stereo sounds fantastic. 2 Alpine speakers in original location and 2 6 x 9's in wedge boxes above the gas tank. Deck is loaded with mp3,wma and xm and was still cheaper than the in dash route.

Good pictures. I can emphatize with you as I went through much of the same on my 54 AD. Keep going and finish it up. | | |
