54 Chevy truck as possible cool parts chaser

[L67ss]

So. At the yard where I work part time pretty much anything in it is mine for the picking. Other day I found a 54 Chevy one ton in super solid shape. Thinking slap on s10 frame with 4wd blazer rear axle and a 350 and a short flatbed. Always been a street/rat/traditional rod kinda guy anyway. And the fatter one ton fenders will allow for wider front wheels

May even leave the white paint. Its not in real bad shape. Prolly do 50s style exhaust stacks tok

You'll have to throw some pics up !! The price of them cabs alone are expensive up here $3000/$4000 an they need work.

Yeah anytime I get a job as a wrench flipper or panel beater I always end up getting in good with my boss due to my enginuity and resourcefulness along with my actual skill. I'll prolly be able to get it for a couple Hondo $. Needs glass(is intact tho) and only rust is a spot the size of a silver dollar in middle of driver floor board. Unsure if I'll use the hood

 

[bob64]

That's insane , couple hundred , even $1000 !! Hope you grab it !! Yup it's a handy job to have if your into vehicles.

If you don't use the hood sell it an get afew bucks !!

Realistically I'll get the cab and front cap for doing an engine change on a 96 sonoma

Yeah, definitely post some pics of it...

 

[L67ss]

I'll snag pics even if I decide not to get it

'54 is cool for it's one year only style. I prefer their curved windshield over the V-butted earlier version. Better grille too.
