Wow you guys gave me some more food for thought....
So I am hoping this truck will not be a total lost cause. I am only upgrading the braking system and putting a new 12 volt electrical system and seat belts but try and keep everything else in stock form (6 cylinder 4 speed). That way it should appeal to both restorer guys and also the resto-mod guys too....keep it all looking the way it was when it came from the factory but keep the patina like it is...
