Well Cosmo,
I've had my '52 3600 for 11 years too. Only I've put on about 10 miles! All before I took it apart.
Here is a before photo. I am currently doing a frame off, however I will be putting the body back on "as is" on my
restored chassis. It's got 35,000 original miles and I hope to run the original 216 and if it ever gives, I've got a '55 235 waiting in the wings.
The only deviations from stock will be a '55 3 speed with Borg Warner overdrive which I plan to run a manual solenoid on. My truck is a factory 3 speed column shift, so it will still look stock in that regard. Also am running '53 Bendix front brakes.
The truck will be used for exactly what it was built for.
I don't plan on painting mine, but will do some touch ups and small body repairs here and there. May even paint the fenders black.
I hope to be driving it this summer sometime. So I guess mine could be a 50/50....half (or close to half)restored/rebuilt and half not.
