Hey all. I'm a member of many forums, but new here. Have wrenched on Harleys for almost 30 years as a hobby and have done a few muscle cars and even a couple old airplanes. This will be my first AD truck, and I'm looking forward to it.
1953 on an S-10 frame with Mustang II front suspension. I verified that the top is chopped 4" but was also told that the bed was stretched 7" (I see some weld marks that kinda confirm that as well). I'm learning what the past owners have done over time. Some good, some crappy. Looking forward to learning with the crew here.
Yanked the "newly build and never fired" 350 to see what I had, and found a bad spot on the crank where someone had drove the connecting rod bolts into it. So...glad I verified the build, but hate that I have to build something else for her now. Oh well, that's part of our hobby.
