Hello to my fellow AD Truck friends! I am new here and it looks like this is the right place for me to mingle. I am in the middle of my first frame off resto mod with my 1950 5 window. I bought it already clipped with a 71 nova front end and same rear end. I finally found a fab shop that I am happy with and they are assisting me with moving the motor back and setting my trans crossmember. After having Chevy/GMC trucks my whole life, I believe I have found the motherlode with my 50' and I am very excited to comment on threads and start some of my own. I do realize this is the best place to ask questions and increase my knowledge of AD trucks.
Excited about 2012!

Good looking truck. She's in really good shape. What are your motor/trans plans?

Re: Brand new member
I looked on CL for like ever before I found this one. I was lucky, this truck had a paint job and body work done about twenty years ago and was slated for a resto when I bought it. It has all orginal guages, seat, mirrors, headliner, grill, etc. and they had already added a 71 Nova Clip and rebuilt all the bushings. I fugured I was money a head to start at this point. I have only had to replace the floor pans and cowls. So we tore it down sanded and etch primed, chassis paint and started putting her back together. I want to make this a daily driver so I got a 1980 truck 350 that had been rebuild I found at our local truck junk yard and found a 700R out of a 92 Silverado. So my plans under the hood are nothing fancy just very maintainance friendly. I have added a few more pics. Trying to stay as stock looking as possible! Gonna have some fun with this one!

Re: Brand new member
As a matter of fact I do have a few Q's! Can you recommend a non keyed tilt steering column, booster-master cylinder and rear gas tank. I am looking to make these purchases soon. I dont mind the IDIDIT or Lokar aftermarket stuff just looking to see what everyone else has done. My 71 Nova clip is a rear steer.
Any help or recommendations will be appreciated!
