Truck has good power and is fun to drive. Gets good MPG and tons of attention. CURRENTLY in process of complete tear down for full air ride, fully done interior and much more. Truck originally finished in 2011 should be back on road 20??. I designed the AD s10 kit on this truck since torn down, designing a 4 link kit on it, aim to do tubular control arms next. Along with some other cool AD specific ad ons.

"GERONIMO" 54' chevy 3100
Finished summer of 2018 after about 650hrs. Truck came from New Mexico years ago and lived in Salt Lake City, where we got it from. I started on the truck halfway through December and get about three days a week average to work on it. We ketpt the patina, stock frame with IFS up front, static drop. In the rear I got rid of the stock springs and put some modern blazer leafs in with a conversion kit I designed. Also using a 3.42 blazer rear end with disc brakes. Has carbed LS engine withe 4L60e trans and TCI trans controller. Truck drives very nice. Only thing left is to hook up AC and eventually the radio. Truck got 1st place in its first car show Aug 2018.
Prison Bound -55.1 series
The next truck on the list should be Prison Bound. It will be built to sell. As of now I should be using my 55.1 series, which is the last of the Advance Design body style. I'm not a huge fan of the 1 piece windshield or grille, some are. So... I'll be putting the earlier grille in this and possibly a different dash. I like this because it is a 5 window cab. I was going to paint the truck, but I may just body work it and fauxtina it. Not the biggest fan of fauxtina but it will look cool and save tons of hours. Not to mention the market for paint is a whole different ballgame. The truck should be keeping stock frame with IFS. Bagged of course. This time I'll be using an LS engine, most likely carbureting it. Not sure if I'll do auto or 5,6 speed trans yet. Full blown interior and engine bay of course.
Lost at Sea -52'
Lost at Sea is truly that, I started on some of the parts years ago. Got tied up into the 49Hardtimes truck, which ate up 2years. So unfortunately I'm not sure when I'll get back to this truck. I currently have the rear fender body worked and in epoxy primer (25 hrs in that fender) started front fender (about 10 in that) started on a door too. I have a 235 engine with 5speed already mated up. I have to paint the engine still. My goal is to bag the truck, full blown interior and painted outside. Two tone blueish green with white roof. Its going to be a keeper since its going to be painted and have a 235 with 5speed (not many people appreciate the work that will go into this). I currently have another truck lined up to sell before I get to this and also my 53' belair. So its gonna stay lost for a while unfortunately.
Other Projects
I have collected cars and mainly chevy trucks through the years. I typically bring in and sell a couple projects a year. Some still in stock, if you see anything please inquire.
