You'll probably get a different opinion from every one you
talk to about what to do with your '52. In the end it's gonna
be how you want to personalize it. There's a whole slew of
guys that would dust of the 'patina' and just upgrade the
mechanical aspects of the truck. Then at the other end of
the spectrum there are guys like me that try to keep them as
stock as is practical and still use them as a driver.
If it's value you're pondering, it's certainly going to be
worth a lot more in it's original appearance without all the
Jerry rigging that some farmer did. The seem to bring a bit
more if they have been properly modified with the typical 350,
auto trans late rear end and independent front, put an
emphasis on the 'properly modified'.
Stick around here for a while, you never know what you might
pick up and you can drop off some of what you've learned
over the years.
