Re: 53 GMC longbed project
include in that a check on the tires and brakes. tires don't last forever even though the tread may lool like new and you don't need a blowout, brakes likely need an adjustment at least and while its off the ground grease the chassis. check the lights, door latches, steering linkage etc. just an overall mechanical check before it hits the road. then drive it and enjoy it. make a list of what changes are most wanted.

Re: 53 GMC longbed project
My Ad is a real Daily Driver. Its is almost completely upgraded to at least 1985 tech and just barely gets by in even light traffic. Biggest problem is braking. New cars can stop in fraction of the time and changed the way folks drive. Roads today seem a technological battle ground equipped with both poor and sometime downright vicious "combatants". To turn a phase "old school is cool but tech will get you home"
