I own a small restoration shop. and this is a truck I have been building for a client for the past year and a half. It is one of the most desirable models made. the last of the "split window" two-piece windshield classics. a 1953 3100 half-ton short bed Chevy. He has essentially lost interest (his wife. actually) and has asked me to list it for him. This is a full body-off-frame "restomod" hotrod classic cruiser that has been done right. I will consider it 95% + complete. and after describing he vehicle. I'll try to list everything I know that needs to be done to complete the truck.
