mr48chev - My 1952 is actually running and in great shape. I want a nice ride, with some modern features like power brakes, power steering, AC etc.. . I can get the donor pickup s10 for under $1000 here in west texas. I figured I can get a modern driving truck up and running for under $5000 and a little bit of work.

Thats the idea.

I would totally consider upgrading the original frame with modern components, but I believe I would spend significantly more.

Your thoughts?
