My 54 Chev pickup - Contradiction

[niper0108]

Hello all! I've been on the site a long time, checking out everyone else's projects, admiring the work & capabilities of many, and getting ideas & motivation. Now its time to tell my story;

Back around 2001, I originally bought a complete 3 window 1950 Chevy truck, and proceeded to collect parts and disassemble it. Sometime in 2002, I answered an ad in the local classifieds for a bunch of truck parts from someone who had given up on their project - a 1954 5 window Chevy truck. He had accumulated thousands of dollars in new parts, as well as the complete truck. I originally just wanted a laundry list of parts they had for sale, but then he made me an offer for the whole package that I couldnt refuse.

I brought that truck home (3 trailer loads incl parts) sold off my other truck, and all the parts that I decided I wouldnt be using. That $ went to further fund my new '54.
