You're doing a great job on the truck Paul.
 My son and I just bought a 1951 and a 53. We live in Nova Scotia. The 1953 we are hoping to restore over the next two years. It still runs and drives, but is in desperate need of a body off restoration like you're doing. Here's the 53 we are planning to restore. Thanks for the great photos you've posted.  Al
