Vintage GMC 100

I saw this 1951( I think) GMC 100 pick up truck parked by a barn today. We went to a friend of ours farm to help with a problem in the horse barn. It is a beautiful waterfront property with an old manor home on it. I'd love to give this 'ol fellow a complete make over. Older vehicles had style and class and loads of character. Such a shame to let them rust away.
