Just a new face in the neighborhood. I own a restored 53 pickup. From the outside it looks like it's in showroom shape and the inside looks cool too. It's got a lot of the original parts, but not 100%. The exterior makes it look all original, at least. I needed to upgrade lots of things like the front axel, electrical system, get rid of the cardboard interior (it's much quieter now). But after all the work I put into it, I still gots lots of trouble.
I got it from my grandpa in 2001; he owned it since 1955. I'd certainly have a hard time selling it. It took me 5 full years to restore.
