Very nice! I guess it depends on what you want. Do you want all original or modern highway speed? Trans can be rebuilt and if you want it to go faster than it did in 51 you can swap the ring and pinion. Is the engine original? My 51 is all original. I didn't want to go fast. I wanted it to be like it was in 51. It's your choice. No wrong answers here. Do it like you want it.

I have not run the numbers on the engine yet, but the rest of the truck is very original. It currently has a manual 4 speed in it. I would like it to drive at least 55-60 if possible without changing everything out (I mean transmission or rearend). I don't mind changing internal stuff.
Here is a picture of the last two car I restored for my buddy.
