Hello Bolters. This is my first post here, although I've been lurking for a while. I have a chance to obtain (for nothing) a '53 1 Ton Chevy. This truck is in pretty rough shape and I wanted to get some opinions about the viability of this restore from folks with far more experience than I have.
The chassis and engine are all there and seem to be fairly sound from a rust perspective. The body is banged up and a bit rusty but seems like it could be restored. Somebody broke the windows out of this truck years ago and the interior is a complete wreck. The dash is a wright-off and nearly the entire floor is rusted out. I can probably take car of all or most of the mechanical stuff, but I know zilch about body work.
You can see for yourself here:

Thanks,
