53 BURBAN barn find

Well found this on cl. The story goes this guy bought it in the 90's from a guy who had it in a barn for thirty years. He drove it for a while and decided to paint it in 99. It never got put back together and in 2005 the man past away.the family i got it from was pretty emotional over the thing. Seems to be very complete. Except for the carb is gone. Motor spins freely and radiator fluid looks good.i think all i need is a battery and see if it will fire.came with three rows of seats.i have never seen a 50"s original truck with this little of rust. I will be looking for some advice on this one.this will be my first 50"s build. Thanks
