I like these old trucks.
When you put in a new seat, you just replaced 97% of the upholstery! ![]()

Cool truck. Looks like a '53. Does it have the 239 or the six?
I hope they gave you a good deal on that seat at Pick a Part, 'cause it's a POS. ![]()

It’s a 53 with a 239 Flathead.

AND a two speed rear end! My brother farmed up near Kitscoty. At one point he had the local vocational school " restore" the farm's early '50s GMC grain truck.

Cool.
What all did it take to get it running? Pressure wash the inside before the new used seat goes in?
