Greetings all. I have an unmolested 54 that was optioned with the HydraMatic. I understand there were very few produced and it was the first year the option available. Truck is very clean and solid. I'm torn between doing a driver/resto-rod and restoration. I really want a daily driver but it seems a sin to mod what I'm told is a pretty rare truck.

I thought I'd put it out to you all and get some opinions. I also have a couple of questions.

Does anyone know how many were produced with this option?

Can anyone recommend someone to rebuild the HydraMatic?

Does anyone have a 54 or 55 with this option?

Thanks in advance for your replies.
