Lightbulb rebuild or not everyone please read/comment

Howdy
Ok, my 1949 I just got running with the orignal 239 flattie. The motor has a rebuilder tag on it from 1966 and the truck was last liceced and supposedly last ran in 1967.

Ok, should I rebuild it????

The motor still does need TLC, overheating, idle off, 1 or 2stiff valves stuff like that nothing seeming majior. But still no sign of a castrophe looming.

So since I probably will miss the cruise season anywho should I do a R&R doing the rings bearings, timing stuff like that.

Because right now the key expensive parts should still be perfect, block crankshaft etc.
Please tell me all you think. Advice will all be appreciated and taken into consideration.

I do have the funds and over the winter I'll have more then enough time.

Yes/No

Thanks in advance Ryan
