What made you pick an AD 47-54

I have always liked the style and curves that the AD has. Also when I was younger, every time we walked into an Old Navy store I would tell my dad that I wanted one of those trucks. Of course he would just smile and give me that nod as he is not a car guy.

I DIDN'T!

I chose a Task Force 1955 because my Dad had a '59 Fleetside longbed when I was a kid that I helped him swap in a 283 and then later a 348. He had bought a brand new a black '55 Chevy two door hardtop Belair that he gave me when I turned 16 and was too STOOPID to know to keep it.

As funny as it sounds many years ago I came close to buying a 46-48 Ford coupe. The plans were to bag it because I loved the way the fat fenders looked tucking the rim and setting the body close to the ground. Then I saw a 47-54 truck lowered and the grill and front fenders looked very simular to the look of the Ford coupes. I have always been a truck man so it made perfect sense to build the truck. I liked the boidy style so much I decided a Suburban was next.

Always liked the AD pickups for one reason or another. Back in the early 90's my son and I were going to do a father/son project on a 52 that we picked up. He lost interest in the AD and sold it and did a S-10 for his daily driver. To make a long story short after I retired in 96 I decided I wanted to do the AD based on a roadster drawing he did. He is now working on an AD for myself, in between doing other cars for people...Jim
