It's about the same condition mine was in when I got it.
These get lots of attention!

Just reread your second post, and not sure if I would be out of line here, but if was me, she would stay as close to stock as possible. Too rare to mess with, so stock engine, brakes etc...but all in the best working condition possible!! But it is your truck, for you to enjoy as you please, and I'm cool with which ever way you go!

Too rare to mess with...... Indeed! With so many of these old cars & trucks being turned into hotrods it's making the few remaining originals quite rare and valuable.

I agree she came near perfect originally - I have no desire to improve on that original design. Just clean her up a bit.
She has shadows on the door and sheet metal between the hood and the cowl from being lettered. Fire department City Service Park Service - some state agency I guess. The number 6 is on both sides and above it is a small round decal of sorts but its just a sun shadow of what was there. The door jamb is red so I guess she was red and maybe fire department.
I found some fishing items so one of her POs was into fishing and a set of mismatched hubcaps.
Thanks again.
