Projects 1950 3100 Truck Project

...I've built/sold a lot of these AD trucks, but I'm keepin this one,,,16 years now...

 

Man thats a slick one. For sure, I would love to do another AD. Maybe even a suburban so I can bring the family along. Yea there were a few things I would do differently and could def do it for a lot less money now, but I was super happy with my end result. I think my favorite custom touch was cutting that front bumper to fit close like yours is rusty, looks so much better on a lowered truck. And the bed wood, I really liked how that came out.

I dont know if I mentioned it, but I had hell with some sort of electrical gremlin, when hot out, after driving for about 30 minutes the voltage would go low and it would start misfiring. Ran great when cool outside, fall/winter... If you look back at the thread I had done all sorts of stuff to no avail, to be honest one of the driving factors in me selling it. Was just so frustrated. Anyway, I had a revelation that bummed me out. When I was putting together electrical, I grabbed a negative cable we had replaced on a truck under warranty due to excessive voltage drop. the factory gm cables look great and it was the right length, etc. My thinking was the new trucks with all the electronics would be more sensitive, but shouldn't be a problem on this one. Fast forward a year or so later to when I started driving it and I never once considered that as the cause for my problem.

I bet had i replaced that cable I'd still be driving it now haha. Oh well, next time....
