Alright... Progress pictures of my baby! 1954 Chevy *Updated*

If you are ever back in IF let me know That is a sweet truck

I will most definately drop you a line. My grandparents live kind of out of town, but we go in plenty. And we typically only go to see them. Merle and Beth Griebenow, ever heard of them? We moved down to hell (Houston) when I turned 8, so I don't know road names too well, but I kinda know my way around there haha.

[Grieby54]

can you not see them???

Sharp looking truck! I like the cab mounts. Do you have the cab mounts bolted or welded to the frame? I've been thinking of redoing my mounts and might go with something like yours.

I actually made them myself. they will be bolted, and maybe spot welded, but most likely not. I like 'em too!

come on man, I am in the same club you are in (old trucks new frames) and am dying to see that beast

 

[78Suburban]

yeah, I love old trucks like that too. could you email the pics too [email protected] ? I have been considering a swap like this, but I'm not sure if I have the cajonies and knowledge to make it work....

Very nice. Post updates. That is an extremely nice truck.

Have you figured out how you'll set up your cooling system yet?

 

[Grieby54]

For those of you who want some pictures... I will try to get some out tonight. As for my cooling system. I am gonna use a new radiator built for the '54 and two electic fans. She gets plenty of air since the front is so open on the earlier model trucks.

 

[Grieby54]

Alright ladies and gents, I promised more pics, and more you shall have! www.picturetrail.com/grieby54 ENJOY!

The blue truck is what I started with, and yes, I'm redoing it. It looks pretty nice in the pictures but in real life it wasn't so nice.

Thanx for extra pics. With an engine that pretty it's going to be a shame to get it dirty! Keep up the good work! Will keep watching.

I went into this project making this a weekend wheeler, but with all the money and time invested, and how the final product will be... this might be a once every other month wheeler. Sorry guys... on a lighter note... I do have a dirtbike hahaha.

looks great, I used to have a 54, but it was a street rod

sold it last year, was sad to see it go

 

[REDCRO_REDNECK]
