1954 Chevy truck resto mod

I Found this truck on eBay, when I contacted the seller he said it was going off in two days and it already hit the reserve, I didn’t want to bid on it until I saw it in person (was a state over from me Maryland) I couldn’t see it until the weekend, which means I couldn’t bid on it. I saw it ended and reached out to the seller and told him if the winner doesn’t come through, to let me know I will be interested. Two weeks went by and I went to look at a few more trucks, but they just weren’t the right ones. I was literally about to call about another truck and before I could enter the whole phone number in, I received a text from the truck from eBay and he said the winning bidder never contacted his, so he said he would offer it to me before he relisted it, so I told him I’ll be there the next day. Went and looked at it and bought it. I always wanted a 47-54 Chevy / GMC pickup, but didn’t like them stock. After falling in love with the patina style look, I knew I needed to build one, Every other one of my cars, has to be clean all the time and I always worry about scratches, paint chips, dents, and I’m the guy who parks in the furthest parking spot available, so I wanted one car that I would have to be obsessed with the paint and worry about scratches and dings. I completely stripped off every single wire and completely rewired the entire truck front to back. Literally no one has touched this truck but me, EVERYTHING was done by me in my driveway under a fold up 10x20 tent!  (I have a garage but the truck is too big to fit into it and work on it.). I worked on this truck only on weekends and holidays (6 month build ). Worked on it Friday nights after work until dark, all day Saturdays until dark and all day sundays until dark, rain or shine, 100 Fahrenheit  plus degrees weather to 20 degree Fahrenheit (started in June 2018 and finished November 2018).  I had absolutely no help with the truck except for my wife and father in law help me lift heavy things off/ on like the bed.  My wife helped me install the new windshield glass since it’s a two person Job using nylon rope, other than that, it was all me.  (I know I keep repeating my self but I’m proud of that ) It was a one owner truck (Maryland , United States) . The man bought it brand new and lived to be 98 years old driving it every day, using it on his farm also until the day he died he lived to be 98 years old.  After be passed it sat in his barn for 20 years untouched until his wife passed , and then it became for sale and I purchased it.  I even have the original title In the original envelope from 1954. As the truck aged and started to rust, the owner literally brush painted on a silver paint over top of the original blue paint, to act as a protector to help slow down the rust. I sanded the silver down to make it appear as a faded repaint coming through to the original color and kbs satin cleared the entire truck.  I still use the original keys it came with to open and unlock the doors, lock the glove box and start the truck! With a lot of hard work and A LOT of wd-40, my hard work paid off!
