Dutch52,
Christmas travel has kept me away from checking out eBay. I just now saw the '54 Chevy truck with one of the 200 examples of a Hydra-Matic transmission.
That truck looks nice but it is hard to keep reading a listing with statements like:
"If you are looking for a 100% original truck as from the factory don't look any further. Anything has been modified in this truck."
No telling what 100% original means to this seller (especially if "anything has been modified").
I wonder if he might have a Chevy car Powerglide in the truck. Does it even have an enclosed driveshaft? These things do not really matter, except that "100% original" seems a gross overstatement based on what can be seen from the pictures.
