Buyers Guide to the Advance Design Trucks, Panels, or Burbs
Hey guys. Having the TF forum merged with the AD forum has caused me a dilemma. I have been building a TF truck for 10 years now, and every time I log in to get some info/read through threads I have the same problem over and over. I am being constantly reminded of how cool the AD trucks are. Now that my TF truck is on the road and driving, although FAR from complete, I am thinking about another project.
I really want an AD Burb, but don't know what I will end up with. What are the Tips and tricks of the Advance design trucks? Where are the common places of rust, major things to look for? I know that whatever I find will have some rust, but I want to know the first places to look to get a baseline of the projects I look at. Where are the first places to rust out? maybe parts that are not reproduced? all-in-all ... what should one look for when looking to buy a 1947-55.1 Chevrolet/GMC? Thanks in advance! |

Normally all 4 corners of the cab are rusted out, floors, anyplace that is flat that will hold water. Mine looked better than it was, when i unbolted the fenders and front clip, you could see right through the cab. From the seat forward is brand new floors.
Anything you want or need can be ordered here: http://classicparts.com/

they have flat glass so I wouldn't think its as bad as the 55-59 trucks, but the windshield area is a big issue on alot of the TF's |
