‘50 GMC 1/2 ton. Photo shows the results of 27 years of siting in a South Dakota field. 5% gloss over the paint and rust after clean up. It was completely disassembled and every part was rebuilt. Very little rust through but many dents. The original owner stated the truck was full green with no rust and the door company name was not visible when it was parked.
I have had half dozen 39-57 trucks over the last 30 years. This one in “original” patina brings far more comments, conversations and questions than all the others combined. (The others were were all restored with near perfect paint and chrome.)
