Hello everyone. I've been looking at the site for a while but have never posted. I have a 1954 3100 that I drove in high school. Got stupid one day in 1997 and sold it. Bought it back a few years ago but the previous owner stripped it to the frame and lost interest. Good chance to start a frame off I guess. My question to all of you is am I crazy to make this my commuter truck? I drive 430 miles a week and I don't want to waste money on another little car. Figured I could take that cash and make my 54 a reliable driver. Any comments or opinions? If you are crazy you can join my club, dd only vehicle. I have the truck listed below and can achieve 18.7 mpg going 60-75 highway speeds. I have the original Huck brakes that work great. You have Bendix brakes which have more surface area and a more efficient braking mechanism (IMHO). So if you are serious go for an overdrive transmission, spend a grand on one of those made-to-fit a/c systems and then look in the mirror and admire yourself while others pay their monthy rental of rapidly depreciating vehicles. Regards, Cosmo
