As I'm getting to the end of restoring my '51 1/2 ton the first two things that come to my mind, looking at your truck are:

1- Sounds like fun!
2- Sounds like tons of work and cashola to do right (i.e. 8 hours a day for 6 months or 1,000 hours plus a good 15-20k in parts)

Another couple of thoughts-

Is that an original stakebed? Looks nice!

The body panels all look pretty straight, I wonder if there is rust in the cowls, cab corners, floor board/toe board/kick panel area?

Wow! Does that sucker have a 2=spd rear axel & hydraulic lift for the bed?

I bet its got power brakes, but power steering? I bet its a pain to turn that thing so I'll have to put in power steering along with the bigblock.

Then I think of my first two comments again.

Have fun!
