54 GMC Pick-up

[Guinness_guy]

Ladies and Gents,

Thanks for having me on your forum. This is definately the most professional automobile forum I have been on. I have spent the last couple weeks lurking and soaking up as much information and knowledge as I can. All of you guys' build threads are awesome, and reading them has taken a few of my nights away that I will never get back

My name is Chad, and I am currently in the market for a project truck. I have my eyes set on a 54 GMC Pick-up. I am by every means a novice at older model GM trucks. I do have some experience in turning a wrench and doing some custom work. The last 12 years in the military have kept me away from my favorite hobby, therefore this year I intend on getting back to business.

There is an older gentleman here in NC that is selling quite a few classics. This truck is the only one in my price range. However, I would like to get an outside opinion on value (the best you can from a couple pics). All comments, critiques and advice will be appreciated.
