I need to find a local un-altered AD - preferably in the Green Bay area for a few measurements for my project

I need to take a few measurements to validate fitment and jig dimensions.

Thanks in advance.

Scott

I hear that. The ones that do are not driven, only wiped down with diapers.

Here in the southwest, rust-free AD trucks are EXTREMELY common and sit in the fields ready for the picking. If you're in the rust belt and want to come and restore one of these, you should contact me and consider a trip down to talk to some of the land owners and see what they'd sell the heaps for.

Hot Rod Dad,

I have a fairly pristine former Minnesota Farm truck, other than the rear fenders being mashed in, beaten out, then re-mashed in multiple times, the truck is in really good shape for the rust belt. Downside is the prior owner disassembled about 15-20 years ago to start the restoration. The stock driveline and suspension were sold by the PO as well. So I am in process of designing a weld-in IFS for the truck.

The problem is I simply need a couple of reference dimensions and prior pleas have gone unheaded. So if I can find one within a reasonable drive, I will take the dimensions that I need myself.

Scott

I've got one in Merrill, but that is still a bit of a drive for you.

BTTT - Anyone willing to take a tape measure out to their garage and measure the stock frame height of their un-molested 3100?

I'm in Allenton, WI and have a good 51- the box isn't on it but you're welcome to look at it - it's inside. Call me at 262-339-2756 and I'll measure anything you need on the truck.
