'51 Chev PU farm salvage

[Sieg]

A good friend salvaged his grandfathers pickup that has been sitting dead since '73 on the family farm in Texas. He found a local restorer in Albany, OR and dropped it off there about 5 months ago. I'd heard's comments of how much it was costing in a negative way at times and other concerns about the process, but over-all it sounded like they were doing a decent job.

He got the truck home yesterday and I went to check it out and this is what I found.









The phone pictures don't do it justice. I looked it over top and bottom pretty hard and I couldn't find any flaws in their work. It's almost to nice to drive. The guys that did the work are all over 70 and their attention to detail is impressive. They also completely went through the motor.........total price $40K
