99 to Life-
I got the LS1 with all the mods and computer ... est 450hp
Turbo 400 trans
torque converter and adaptor

$2000

I rode in it before the guy pulled it out..

99 to Life · 04-11-2014, 03:53 PM

nice, yeah thats a good deal IMO. You can't build that HP for that hardly, esp with gen1 stuff. Going through that right now. Your harness work is worth atleast 400, trans worth atleast 200, so you got the goods.

Bone$ · 04-14-2014, 04:43 PM

Just had to report ...

Took all my papers in today and my 1954 is now a Registered TRUCK

lowroder · 04-27-2014, 10:21 AM

sweet truck.. i'll be following your build . I have a 52 GMC

solidaxel · 04-27-2014, 08:43 PM

Great G M C,
I would keep that chassis if I were you, as you will have everything to fit up the front sheet metal.
Is your driveline open or closed?

Budman56 · 05-15-2014, 03:34 PM

Nice start to a 54 build, I noticed that you live in madera cal? I am in patterson, and I have a 54 gmc that I picked up for my wife, I noticed your photo of the dash and it looks like the gmc logo is missing the glass, mine was too but now I am thinking that it came from the factory like this, whats your thoughts? I am in the proccess of rebuilding the cluster.

My '54 GMC 100 is the same way. I'd just assumed the glass was broken.

Bone$ · 06-26-2014, 02:29 PM

We havent made much progress since my last post. My friend that is doing the Suspension is busy getting harvest equipment ready for this season. The plan is to get fired up again on it next week.

I did pick up a 700r4 to mate up with the ls1...

sirwilliam · 06-27-2014, 10:41 PM

the cabs tranny hole seems it was a Hydra-matic. and the GMC logo in the gauge cluster never had glass. Good looking start, I love my 54 GMC. Also a Hydra-matic
