My dad had one mounted on our 54 Ford; didn't work worth a D#*% unless you were on the highway. Even then not very well.
It worked great for prestige.

Thanks for the complement!

I'll add to the list... Not sure if I did this right or not, but this is when I had first gotten it, and just hacked out the suspension just because haha!

The project is just beginning. Planning on a low nice cruiser. I know this site will be a lot of help. Got a long way to go, but alot has already been done to the frame, so I am working on blocking, disassembly and painting.

here is my boy from sick industries 52 right before final tear down

Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!
 

Are the doors and cab lengthened?
How much is pie cut from the hood?
NICE ride !!!

Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!
 

redsean, that 52 looks nice! good job on the body mods.

Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!
 

Here's the 54 I just picked up this past Monday. It's already got a Camaro front clip with disk brakes and a Camaro rear with a four link tack welded in, already set up for a SBC with turbo 350 trans with a driveshaft already made up. It was sandblasted about a year ago and put up in a pole barn.

I've been working on my 63, getting the bodywork done, but it looks like that's gonna be put on hold now so I can get started on this one. I'm gonna be working on this one with my best friend who is a hellava body/paint man and he wants to get started on it soon.

Once I get it in the garage and get the cab off and get started, I'll post progress in a build thread. This one's gonna be a "fix up and sell" project. And, since this is my most aggressive build so far, and my first 47-54, I'll be asking you guys lots of questions. (dumb questions, you ready?)
