My '54 Chevy truck is becoming more solid by the day. This time, resto tech Randy Stange patches up the rusty floor in an unconventional act of auto recycling. All we can say is that the Camaro crowd may not like this one. In reality, no re-usable body panels were hurt in this fix, but the steel will go on living in the truck, and that's what really matters, right? The kick panels are gettin' the fix as well. Say goodbye to the Flintstone brakes!

Thumbs up from me!!!! ;-)


Joy,
I couldn't agree more, that is exactly why I don't want a fancy paint job. I've got work to do with this truck and I don't want to worry about the bumps and scrapes. I too enjoy packing the bearings. We don't have a bearing packer, so we do it by hand, I'll have to shoot a blog of me with a big pile of grease in my hand and show how we hand pack them. I'm so happy to hear another woman in the world knows what packing bearings means and how to do it. You Rock!

Billy Bob is a beautiful truck.
We have been debating about what color (if any) to paint parts of the truck and I see on Billy Bob the hood emblem has a little blue in the chevy symbol. That looks nice. I also like the white grill. Mine is painted the same blue as the truck at the moment, but we all think upon the first washing of the truck when I get all the moss and dirt off, some paint will come too and it might be necessary to do a little touch up painting.
Thanks for the welcome.

Hey everyone!

Been working hard on the '54, we're trying to build one decent trans out of the two that we have. More parts to order. I think I'm stuffed in the fender in this blog, scraping the ugly before I put the new brakes on. This is definitely NOT glamorous work!
