Re: My 54 Chev pickup - Contradiction
 Early on, it had a Nova 10 bolt with parallel leaf kit. Here Im mocking up the boxing plates. Eventually I would scrap this whole set up & go a different route.

Re: My 54 Chev pickup - Contradiction
I am just about to start My Bear claw install. I see you shaved the handles, Electric Besr Claws? I am trying to keep the outside handles also inside. Any Ideas on how you will setting up the Interior linkage? I am thinking of using Microswitches to activate the latch.
Thoughts? |

Re: My 54 Chev pickup - Contradiction
Parts, parts & more parts...
  Bags & bags of screws, clips, hardware, etc. Mostly from Classic Parts of America. It was still Chevy Duty when I started the whole project...  More boxes of parts... Those old school billets & raised white letters are from the previous owners vision. Gives an idea of how long this truck has been under construction...

Re: My 54 Chev pickup - Contradiction
 Wide whites replaced the old school billets some time ago. They were also painted red at one time. I plan to also purchase a set of 20" Boss 338's to switch it up from time to time.

Re: My 54 Chev pickup - Contradiction
This past summer, I brought the truck to my house & really tore into it. Here I've gutted the old rear end set up & am installing the 4 link & disc brake rear

Re: My 54 Chev pickup - Contradiction
I also raised the upper front shock mounts on the Mustang II front end to get another inch of drop up front...
    The token visual aid... And possibly a bit of irony with the Throwback can...
