Just an option, the roof of my '53 had several small dings, from living a rough life as a farm truck. I decided to just leave them. Not a show truck, not a perfect paint job, but good enough for my purposes. I looked into body work, and decided that it would cost so much that I would end up with a truck I was afraid to drive and use. I look it the same way I look at all the wrinkles on my face, they're not imperfections, they're signs of living.

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur (
