When I was at a family farm sale a week ago I bought the 1954 Chevy 6400 that I remember driving in high school (in traditional red with no resprays). Runs great, not a single dent, tires good, etc. Nothing wrong with it and a very good deal.
The paint on it is quite worn through on the hood and fenders but sound everywhere else. It was shredded every night if it's life so there is no surface rust or rust through of any kind. I'm going to use it periodically during harvest to keep it limbered up but want to preserve it. Should I clearcoat the original paint or put boiled linseed oil on it?
Did I mention it's a five window? It wasn't something I went to buy but it went too cheap not to get it. Too many memories to let her pass by!
