John,
Why are you asking? The "oletrucks" list is made up of largely rods and
creative improvements! where the "old-Chevy-truck" list is made up of folks
interested more in restoration and creative rebuilds. The guys into restoration
are concerned that they didn't use the right bolt or screw and it goes from that
extreme to the having vette clips and 454s under the AD hood....
It's all fun and few of this crowd rates "original or creative" as either good
or bad.... just a wonderful choice that we in this country are able to make.
Have a great day!

Not completely original, but very close. The only things that aren't
original on mine are the frame (liked 50 model tube type shocks better), cab
(again, like 50-5 window better than 49-3 window first acquired, but all
features of both are the same-i.e. drivers side vent (with small handle
swap), passenger side fresh air heater vent cowl grill, only difference is
the hinges on the glove box-I dare you to tell the difference, but I saw
when disassembling-even the floating vs. screwed in headliner bow is the
same since I had a late model 49 cab to start with), the rear was change by
PO to 53-so it has bendix style innards on the brakes (still closed
driveshaft, though)-front is still 49 huck style & oh ya, the motor is from
a 53 car-still a 216, but has side mount bosses that I just filled with
bolts & painted with the rest of the engine. Also, borrowed some fenders
from the 50 & have had a few items chromed that weren't originally so.
Otherwise, Everything "else" is completely (& competently) original or very
good repros.
