It was hard to find them that straight decades ago. It appears that your truck hasn't had a very hard life. Great score.

I’ve got a chalky one that I’d like to see shiny again. 1951 GMC 250 Open Express 1968 C10 Suburban 1971 C20 Pickup My Dad told me "Son, never hit a man in anger- unless you're certain you can get away with it"

Paint is still rough on the horizontal surfaces, and will require more work, but at least this knocks off the ugly.
