The Advance-Design is a light and medium duty truck series by Chevrolet, their first major redesign after WWII. It was bigger, bolder, and featured a horizontal 5 bar grille which is recognized to many as one of the most iconic designs in all of automotive history, Its GMC counterpart was the GMC New Design, It was billed as a larger, stronger, and sleeker design in comparison to the earlier AK Series. First available on Saturday, Jun 28, 1947, these trucks were sold with various minor changes over the years until March 25, 1955, when the Task Force Series trucks replaced the Advance-Design model.

Beneath the layers of dust and decades of neglect sat a piece of American steel that once ruled the road—the 1950 Ford F1. Its faded red paint hinted at glory days hauling hay and heartbeats across small-town America. Now, in our restoration bay, that same red gleam is returning—one bolt, one panel, one breath of life at a time. This isn’t just about rebuilding a truck; it’s about reviving a spirit, a symbol of craftsmanship and grit that refuses to fade with time.
