Original paint, driveline, I've done lots of mechanical work so far. It is roadworthy now, Starting to do interior now. The plan now is to go with a "Patina Ride"

Re: Picture of my 1957 A110

A little history of the truck. I found it in a shed in North Dakota back in November, The engine was stuck, no brakes at all, none of the electrical worked, and the floors were badly rusted. It had been prior stored outside with windshield leaking, I believe this caused the floor to become rusted. Since I've replaced the floors, freed the engine, built an exhaust system, cleaned the gas tank and sloshed it with POR 15, replaced all of the brake hoses, new wheel cylinders, rebuilt the master, new fuel pump, rebuilt the carb, rewired the rear lights. The engine seems to run better everytime that I start it. Now I'm working on the upholstery, the seat is done, next is the door panels and headliner. I'm going for the interior to be kind of a "clean, bright and mechanically tight" look.
