I'm currently wrapping up a mild restoration on a 1980 BJ40 Land Cruiser... As soon as it leaves the shop, I'll be back in action!

1954 Monster 4X4 Shop Truck "Crush"
A hard left turn has just been made for project "Crash"....
I have completely changed my mind for the build on this truck... A friend of mine made a comment the other day about the number of lifted trucks I currently own: 8" lifted 87' Crew cab Short bed, 8" lifted 88' K5 blazer, 8"-10" lifted Land Cruiser, 6" lifted 55' GMC.. He then went on to make a valid observation about project "Crash"... "Why have a lifted shop truck," he said? After giving a little thought to the question I thought to myself, well it will look cool... DA! He went on to explain the difficulting in loading a truck that sits 4 - 5 feet off the ground, which for some reason I hadn't considered. So I have desided to take "Crash" to the ground... I just purchased a 1982 2wd Crew Cab Dually with a 4 speed manual, and 454 engine. I will be using this chassis and drive train for project crash... The photo below shows a basic idea as to where I am taking "Crash"... New Plan: 1. Powder coated wheels with chrome spike lugs and center caps 2. Vintage style flat bed, or a stretched out "Era matching" step side bed 3. Air ride 4. New interior (No paint, just fabric, and a Line X floor) 5. Powder coated bumper(s) 6. Leave body untouched and unpainted 7. New Glass, and weather stripping 8. Some kind of cool side view mirrors 9. Visor 10. *****in' Stereo 11. Some cool NON-Smog Bolt ons for the 454! 12. Load exhaust! Tell me what you think of this new plan, and any additional thoughts you may have... |

Re: 1954 Monster 4X4 Shop Truck "Crush"
I think either way you go it would be cool. I've always liked the old styled low flatbed tow trucks though.

Re: 1954 Monster 4X4 Shop Truck "Crush"
I've included a few update photos...
RIP old idea Long live the new! My initial plans of creating a moster shop truck have died. After considering the idea of loading heavy loads onto a shoulders height flat bed just didn't make a great deal of sense.... The new project crash includes a slammed vintage style flat bed very similar to my sketch. The old chassis is going to the scrap yard tomorrow while a 1982 Chevy crew cab dually chassis becomes the new home for this beast. For now the truck will be running a 454 big block mated to a 4 speed manual. Should I keep this truck for the long haul I will be dropping the big block for a 12 or 24 valve cummins and either a NV4500 or G56 6 speed (Either way a manual trans). The 82' crew cab is listed in the classified section under 73-87 parts board: t=433290http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=433290 Stay tuned! |

Hmmm with all the ups and downs, I'd do something really rare and unusual. Stock height.

Re: 1954 Monster 4X4 Shop Truck "Crush"
Take it low, flat bed, air drop in the rear?
Then you can haul those other rides!

Re: 1954 Monster 4X4 Shop Truck "Crush"
Oh by the way... I was on a bit of a stand still until I sold the crew cab (Cab) and front clip... This weekend it should finally be at of here, and I can continue moving forward.
I just sent out the wheels to the sand blaster and powder coater. Radiator came in about a week ago... Will post photos soon.. |
