54 Chevy 5 Window
I bought this truck about a year ago. It's been a slow tear down but I'm hoping to make a lot more progress on it in the mints to come.

Re: 54 Chevy 5 Window
I wish that the previous owner wouldn't have primered the whole truck so that i could have gotten a nice patina but I guess ill just have to put a nice paint job on it.

Check out my original bed floor.

The cab and the bed are ready to come off. Then time to clean up that frame.
