In Charlotte during the GoodGuys Southeastern show, a '52 3100 was being restored for DrumStrong which is an org that supports Kids with Cancer. The truck was to be used to initially be in a parade to raise awareness and funds for kids with cancer. Longer term it was going to be used for a variety of fund-raising activities, ALL going to the kids and their families.

Someone stole the truck from the shop where volunteers were restoring it. We are trying to track it down.

Here is the vin: The VIN is LVM-44 607 H53B-004518 and Title # is 1200332460M

The truck is still in primer with a built 350 engine. I know its a long shot but I am hoping that this post might produce a lead or two.

Here is the guy to contact if you hear or see anything:

Scott L. Swimmer

Thanks folks!

I looked all over the internet and cannot find any information outside of drumstrongs site and this post. Not much information to go by. I checked craigslist and didn't see anything that resembled the truck.

Joe, have you posted on Inliners? I posted on the AD group on the HAMB, and I see you hit the main board.

I shared the link with a friend of mine on Facebook that lives in NC. He's got a couple hundred friends, and they've got more friends, and so on, and son... I plead with anyone else who has friends in the area to do the same. Let's catch these scumbags.
