The Rusty 1951 Chevy Pickup has arrived .

My lifetime daydream was to drive and restore a 50's pickup truck and have it for daily use after , so finally here it is .
I would have loved to keep it exactly as it is , including the rear broken window. Still, we have hard winters here in Transilvania , so i decided to open it up completely, restore the rolling chassis, the cabin inside and driveline, and finally keep the outside patina.

Curious what your idea is!
A friend of mine had a pretty clean '58, many years ago.
Hell, i even kinda like the paint!
Such a great project!

I hope to restore all technical details and leave the ruff outside look as it is, maybe clear-coated if it's needed to get it registered .
