How about some pics and vid of a rusty old 53!

I've been eyeballing this truck for a few years now. The owner is my wife's uncle and he recently pulled it out of the weeds. I decided it was time to make a nice video before he sold it or started restoring!

You can see a whole gallery of detailed images here.

Re: How about some pics and vid of a rusty old 53!

in my opinion...
I think you need to ask your wife's uncle how much he wants for it and now it sounds like you have a project! If he hasn't got to it, he might not.
But that's my opinon...
Besides...its a Jimmy! Thanks for sharing the vid...

Yeah, so "killer" it nearly killed it permanently. That's not "patina" that's decades upon decades of neglect. Man, I hate this "patina" term.
