I like Bill's response. Especially since I don't have to type it now.
You have had a real gem of gems dropped into your lap. In stock form, it is as good as any truck up to the early 70s.
If you want to turn heads at car shows, leave it stock. Even if the body is a little rough, you will get big smiles.
I have a 50 Chevrolet that fits that description and I had a guy about 50 something years old (a young guy
), come up to me at a show and held his hand out for me to shake and said, "Thank you." I asked him, "For what?" He said, "For not cutting it up!
I'll never forget that day. It was really cool to hear.
