Here's my '54 in it's current status (5.7l TPI/700R4/10 bolt posi 3.73)....

TPI in mock up state...

It's on hold until the financial situation gets better. Somtimes I wish I had a rat rod. Nice looking trucks guys. I didn't know there were so many '54 projects!

the 52 is done and will be out for the first time at the Potrland Rod & Custom show this week end.( its green and black) total frame off done in 5 weeks.

63 & 64 Bowties · 02-11-2009, 11:28 AM

Here's the 54 I just picked up this past Monday. It's already got a Camaro front clip with disk brakes and a Camaro rear with a four link tack welded in, already set up for a SBC with turbo 350 trans with a driveshaft already made up. It was sandblasted about a year ago and put up in a pole barn.

I've been working on my 63, getting the bodywork done, but it looks like that's gonna be put on hold now so I can get started on this one. I'm gonna be working on this one with my best friend who is a hellava body/paint man and he wants to get started on it soon.

Once I get it in the garage and get the cab off and get started, I'll post progress in a build thread. This one's gonna be a "fix up and sell" project. And, since this is my most aggressive build so far, and my first 47-54, I'll be asking you guys lots of questions. (dumb questions, you ready?)

56 B/W short bed 283 with turbo 400. Straight axle with power steering. 5 lug. A driver. Purchased locally and I won't tell you how much, you wouldn't believe. Have a 81 Pontiac TA donor car for sub-frame and 12 bolt with 4whl disc. Donor truck from one of my sons' friends gave me the 92 350 TB and 700R4 to complete the transition.
