My Winter Build 54 Chevy 1300
I have a 54 I will be removing from the original frame and mount it onto a purchased Frame.
The frame I ordered has a mustang 2 front end, Rear end will be a Ford 9" with 350 posi. With 4 link. Brakes are Wildwood 12" all the way around. Truck is also Bagged front and rear. Motor and trans came out of a 88 chev 1/2 ton. 350 with a 700r4. Trans is out for a rebuild getting built to handle 500 hp and 5oo tq 1800 stall. Motor is getting the 383 treatment. |

Re: My Winter Build 54 Chevy 1300
I am back from a quick holiday. I picked up the motor and trans. Painted the the trans, and front spindles. installed the spindles, rotors and brake calipers.
Today I am assembling the rear 4 link, and maybe attach motor to trans and set it into the frame. should be a busy day. ![]() |

Re: My Winter Build 54 Chevy 1300
Well I was able to assemble the rear end today. The coating made the assembly tough. Had to clean all the threads on the linkages, then assemble.
Had a football game to watch also ( GO Riders) |

Re: My Winter Build 54 Chevy 1300
very impressive build. Looking at your build you look to be quite a perfectionist.
Keep it up.... Marc
