Hi guys, First time posting other than in the "Introduce myself" thread. Have recently bought myself a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 and imported it from California to Sydney, Australia. First time taking on an American LHD Pick Up. Might be asking some dumb*** newbie questions but i have to learn one way or another : ) Have attached a bunch of photos... Inspiration for this truck is similar to Jonathan Wards Thriftmaster (but without his knowledge, money, resources, time or skill). I would like a Patina/Rough finish with a modern interior and hidden modern touches. Pick up already has 350 Small Block, TH350 Trans, Mustang II Front End, GM 10 Bolt Diff, 4 link set up with coil overs, Power dicc breaks, Rack and pinion steering rack ,New twin exhaust, GM Petrol Tank below the bed, 15" Steelies, New wiring loom and a HORRIBLE steel plate welded in as the bed! Should be some fun : )
Nice truck- there is a social group on here called the AD truckers, you can probably find the answers to any questions you have there and get answers to any you can't find.
Good luck with her...very nice - I too just purchased a 49 and looking for help as well. Love the five window.
Newbie Question 1. I know it has 15" on it at the moment but i want to get some Smoothies and want to fit the biggest possible size without any scrubbing or any other issues? Eventually going to Airbag Suspension (8-12months) and will be using 4" tubs in the bed immediately. How do what fits measure OR can someone just give me the answer? **Got these today**
Now that you have found the AD group search for a posting by Cubby- he put together a long list of AD tech postings which will be a great help to you.
Welcome! I started on a 53 myself. I cannot get anything to come up on AD-Truckers... it shows no threads. took me (like you) 40 minutes to find it. Is there a "Join" process I'm missing?
