My father bought me a 1950 GMC 100 5 window for my 16th birthday. It was a daily driver for a farmer down in Crab Orchard, Kentucky. I always wanted an old pickup and my father made my dream come true. I tinkered with it when I was in high school and parked it in the barn and headed off to college. I am now 32 and my father passed away this summer. I am now motivated to begin a full on restoration. It will be a slow restore since I am a school teacher in Las Vegas and my truck is at my parents house in Michigan. The motor is tired and in need of a full rebuild. Body needs work and all of that other stuff. Where is a man to start with this? Do I send the motor and trans out for rebuild first or start body work? I would love the input. Thanks in advance.
