I am looking at a 54 Panel truck and would like some 54 info from you guys. Did you do an IFS swap or and entire frame conversion? Or are your still running the solid front axle. Also, what kind of powertain do you guys run in your trucks? 54's have such a wicked body style to them, and this panel is no exception.
Many thanks for your input

Hey, dubie
My truck sits on the original frame, but the PO who I bought it from put a Mustang II IFS in with upper & lower tubular A-arms ... a 350 sbc with a mild hydraulic cam and an Edelbrock Performer intake (I installed an Edelbrock Performer 600 cfm 4 bbl carb) ... plus, it's got a mid-70s 12-bolt Chevy rear end and a 350 TH auto trans ... 15" rear wheels/14" front wheels. You can see ALL it's spec's plus everything I've done to it since I got it 9 months ago at my site (link below my sig). It's an all-out blast to drive, man! |

Hey Fred Long time! Still run the the stock beam axle with lots of frame work and tricks. Sits pretty low . Also still run a warmed up 235 original motor in my chevy.Its .080 over with some off the block and some off the head to raise the comp,also balanced and some other old circle track stuff. This truck gets the sh*t driven out of it all year long.Allmost 400,000 miles so far

Hey, Phat
Way to go, man! That's a sweet ride you've built and, like me, you're driving it regularly! Ain't it great? PS - That's a NICE panel truck, too! |

PS - I put AC in my truck, too ... but after installing it I realized the plastic under-the-dash plenum wasn't to my liking, and wasn't needed either! So I got rid of it, put '55 Chevy knobs everywhere on my dash and when I finish the interior (after finding the Lincoln seats I want) I'll put the vents where I please.

i'd be willing to bet this isn't the same one. This guy could care less if he sells it or not. He ended up with it because he made that front tow bumper for the previous owner right before he dies , so he got this panel truck as payment. He's only asking $500 for it, so it's not a ton of cash, just gotta convince the wife i need one

Dubie, you don't want to buy that truck, it only makes left turns!
Phat, this is now my daily driver. Bought it a year ago.
