JoJo's 53 is a just right truck. You don't have to worry so much about Paint and other things. I dated in a 1953 Chevy truck, 4-speed on the floor . It did have a heater in it, also had a cig. lighter. I didn't then and I don't smoke so all I used was the heater. Only difference was My Father's truck was a 5 window. Great truck. Don't be in a hurry to do anything but the mechanical stuff. That's important as you know. Now for a question. Where did you find wheels (with the clips on them.) I need two for the back of my 49 but no one here seems to have them. Not even the salvage yard, (it was "Junk" yard in my younger days.) Thanks, again, I like your truck. Red 49 Chevy
