Thanks - if you're ever in Manistee, MI, check in with Dan Kowolski at Kowolski Body Shop. He knew what was going to need work on the body before he ever saw the actual truck. Probably should have just replaced the engine - it had been replaced in the early 60's and was badly re-built in the mid 60's. This winter and next spring, I'll work on a removable canvas top and side curtains and better benches in the back. It really helps to have original photos of the same truck from the early 50's for paint and accessories - plus my own memories from the 60's.
