I just bought a wonderful, all-original 1951 2R pickup with no rust on it. This is my very first vintage vehicle, something I have wanted for many, many years~! Aside from putting radial tires on it and fixing the lights, it needs very little.
My plan is to fix it up to 'almost new' condition with original parts and colors, etc. It would like to have the body taken off and do the frames and all.
Where would the experts-- all you guys who I admire and who have done this many times before-- recommend that I start with having my truck repainted? I will have to have this done because my body shop skills are nil. What would I expect to pay for a top-notch paint job? Who would you recommend to do this in the greater Cincinnati/Dayton/Columbus area?
Finally, what carburetor can I put on a 2R (3 speed, no overdrive) for smoother engine function?
Thank you,
Mark
