as many of you know, i bought a 56 chevy 3600 tf
235 i6 with 4 speed on the floor.
runs and drives great, leaks oil when its warm, but i really dgaf.
practically all original, paint, upholstery, and rear bumper are the only non-oem things. the sierra is going to be put on the back burner for this project, looking to get done within a year/year and a half.

cut and contour bed corners and shave stake pockets
shave oem mirrors/emblems/top marker lights
repair passenger side cab corner (little bit of rust)
Shave bolt heads on the bumpers and re-chrome
