I helped a friend here bring home a '52 Chevy pickup with a Truckstill OD from his in-law's. It was complete with all the linkage. They were all bent on all "modern" running gear and said I could have all the "old junk" if I'd haul it away. Then came the nasty divorce.
The pickup is still in the area in pieces and I'm sure the "old junk" is scattered around. It's been a while maybe I can ask now.
Yours is looking really nice. Thanks for the update.
