Well I thought I might as well just jump in and get this first post over with.
I have a 1953 / 5 window truck I purchased from a neighbor several years ago. I always wanted a 53 for some reason but mainly because my Dad used to have a old Chevy.
This project has now been on the back burner for some 12 years or better (kids in college, grandkids, aging parents, etc). I started a IFS kit 8 years ago but didn't finish because of frame problems (a total waste of money) and now with the S-10 kits avalible I have aquired a rolling S10 chassis (long WB) and a 4-wheel drive rear end. Plans are for a 350 4-bolt main w/700r tranny. All the parts are on hand. I just need some time to get-r-done! I have found a lots of great advice already here and look foward to getting my truck project started again very soon. drive
