I don't know if "different" is the word I would use, glad it isn't mine....Jim

richards72chevy · 08-14-2011, 02:17 PM

I wouldnt mind owning it.But i would be losing that front end real quick!

T Hilde · 08-14-2011, 10:17 PM

At that point I would have got off the brakes and continued to drive through the Caddy.

Just because it is custom doesn't mean that people will like it, that one proves it.

"different" was just another way to spell it!

Here are some recent pics of my 53 gmc project...vintage a/c is now working...still like some in interior...and finishing mini wheel tubs...some 100 mile road trips with the 350 vortec ,700r4, 3.23 ratio gear got 19 mpg running air...truck steers great with the chassis engineering bolt on clip...ride is a little rough..I have 350 lb springs...wondering if 325 would have been better..

bjcaldwe · 08-17-2011, 10:51 PM

Looks great

ratty 46 · 08-18-2011, 01:15 AM

Very nicely done. The A/C gotta be a bonus.

That is a really nice truck. Great job and I am jealous that I will not get to drive mine for another year.

solidaxel · 08-18-2011, 01:37 PM

Tim you did a GREAT job, I like your truck.

Now you have to drive it for the next 50 years!!

I ended up changing my front springs 3 times, and I think softer is better for me as I drive it every day.
What is next !!!

Handfull 54 · 08-18-2011, 03:47 PM

Here is my 54 Truck. A work in progress that is home built including paint.

Handfull 54 · 08-18-2011, 03:55 PM

Hopefully I can finish it by this October, but all of you know how that goes.

**oldman3** · 08-18-2011, 05:23 PM

Nice ride, just keep plugging away, you'll get it done, to close now.....Jim

oletrux · 08-18-2011, 09:00 PM
