Bringing Dad's 58 home

Awesome truck and from the pics it looks to be mostly original. Many would kill to have that natural patina your truck has. What are your plans for the truck?

Thanks...Currently, I am planning on getting it here and then just being able to drive it a bit. Long term, like 2 years , is a complete frame-off restoration, a mild suspension drop. Dropped front axle,flip the rear and that's about it after the frame off. I'll more than likely drive it this year,spring/summer then it's in the heated garage til next spring.
I have many memories in this truck with my dad. If it weren't his, I'd end up bagging it, and making a rat out of it. I love the patina it has.
