I bought my 54 in Luning Nevada in 1978. Drove down with my dad to get it. Drove it home towing the car we drove down in. Home being Alexis Creek British Columbia Canada. 1400 - 1500 miles. Bone stock 4 speed 4:10 ratio.6.50×16 tires. That was a long drive. Yes it was a conversation piece when we stopped. And I had three offers on it to boot..many more since and I still have it and drive it 5 months of the year.
