AD trucks. You know you like them!
We all seen to love these trucks. I stumbled on this, and couldn't be happier. Despite the patina, there's zero rust in this thing. Cab corners, floors, fenders, door bottoms. Solid as a rock and everything works, even the heater! Original 216 along with the Smash & Hit accessory bumpers. Price those out, if you're curious. A ranch truck from Marble Falls TX. Pretty cool piece of untouched history!
Cheers Dave

Cool truck Dave, and a five window Deluxe Cab too!!
I learned to drive in one of these at age 10. By 12 I was cruising all over the area. At 14 I swapped in a 292 out of a '53 3600 after my older brother burned out a rod bearing in the babbit beater 216. Great memories!!

Thanks guys! Yeah, everyone seems to have some old truck story in their upbringing.
 The plan for it? That’s a good question. First order of business is to address the 45yr old tires and wheels. I’m thinking a few upgrades on the mechanics/electrics, but that’s it. I’ve got a few “vision” ideas, but we’ll see how it all goes down in the plannification phase of things  I was a bit shocked when I googled that Smash - Hit grille guard bumper and grille guard. Those things are pretty coveted and not cheap! More pics to come!  Cheers Dave
