Great that you know the history of your truck. Mine is not too terribly interesting....
My '52 was originally purchased by Travis County, Texas and used as a road maintenance truck. A Travis County employee purchased the truck from the County and I purchased the truck from his family after it had been sitting in a field for countless years. My truck was all original except for a custom rear bumper added by the County for towing purposes. Original engine and all.
Here's a photo of how the truck sat when I purchased it.
