I'm really not much for the big time restos. Down to the last nut and sticker. I fall more on the hot rod side of the fence. But, after reading your other post about the condition of the '51 (and since you have other trucks to rod) I would restore this one for sure. I'm sure there are many a 'bolter on this page that would've loved to have started out with a truck with all it's original parts in place. Count your blessings on this one brother. Many a buck has been spent just to collect the pieces you have already!!
But, as always, it's your truck. It's your choice!
Just my 2 cents!
