My '53 project - Dime time

[GRIMSS]

Well I needed this project like I needed another hole in the head. I've been keeping an eye on my great grandfathers '53 for some time now. Knew the guy who had it and was only going to use it for parts for his '53. Over a year ago I offered to find him the parts he needed for his to keep the family one whole, and he was cool with that. The other day he showed up asking about my side business and said there was another project. So I asked how much for the both 53's and the s-10 frame he had and was shocked when he said $1500 for all. Not the best time for me but couldn't pass them up. Here's the pics. The green one is in the better truck, but the black one was in the family.
