New Find - '54 GMC

My uncle says it is a '54. It has been sitting in the pasture for a while, but no bad rust. The price is right, just haul it away!

I was wondering if someone could help decode the serial number?

Re: New Find - '54 GMC

Finally got the old girl home and the restoration has started. I picked up a '73 chevy as a donor for the engine, tansmission etc. I see the amount of work to be done and was wondering if anyone has grafted an AD body to a mid 70's frame?

They don't fit well on mid 70's frames. I saw one a week ago that was done that way but didn't get any photos.

Just another of my hare brained ideas. Some work, most don't.
