Re: 1952 1 Ton Rebuild

For now, I just want to get her running and driving, and slowly accumulate parts.
Eventually, my goal is to drop in a 327, a t-56 trans, and a 3.73 posi rear end. Ladder bar suspension. Replace the single master cylinder with a dual, and Disc brakes on all four corners. I believe everything else is aesthetic.

Right now, my goals are to just replace the master cylinder,
make sure the lines aren't rusted out/safe enough to use.
Service the brakes
get the original drivetrain working

Once I have those goals completed, I'll drive it for a few months (probably closer to a year), while saving the money for the expensive components like the new trans. Then when I have the all the parts minus the driveshaft, I'll install it all in the truck
