Since I can not afford to have multiple rigs I have to build my '52 for today's driving. I love the look of an original pickup at stock height. So I am having my truck look restored but with a modern drivetrain so I can use the truck on the highway without ticking everybody off but retaining the charm of an old truck. I am upgrading the brakes to disks on the front, 283v8, th350 transmission, open driveline, radial 16" tires. The rest will look like it did in '52. Good luck on your decision, Wayne
