'51 Rusto-Mod

I was asked why some people couldn't find my project build on the site from seeing some of my posts. I guess I haven't had one, so here it is.
Was given the opportunity to buy a 'project' 2 years ago. '52 5 window with alot of parts. Cab was crushed on top. Found a '51 6400 5 window cab replacement. Got the '84 C4 Vette front and rear suspension kit in. Figured out the stock drivers side key lock into the factory latch. Rebuilt the door hinges. Patched the usual big rust holes. Just finished the rear locate fuel tank and filler. Now working on a parking brake setup using the 55+ under dash handle. Goal is to have it look stock, old and worn.
My grandfather had a Mobil service station in Laurel, MT and I was told he had a '52 3600 5 window with a fuel delivery tank in the bed, so that is what I'm shooting for...minus the tank in the bed. I will look that old, including patina paint and dents.
I already have a show truck that I'm affraid to drive, so this could be a daily driver if needed.
