Found this site looking for information on a '54 3800 I,m thinking about buying. I see a few nice looking 1 tons on the site and it looks to be a pretty nice project. I,m just not sure of the streetability of a truck that size. Any opinions?
I'm looking forwards to using all the great information on the site and hope I can provide some information of my own sometime.

Welcome aboard hapydirty. Nice place here to hang out.
What you do to your truck depends on what YOU want in the end. Think about it and a lot of folks here will help you to get there! Good luck.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

My opinion is it take three things to make a Bolt streetable. Interest, Time, and Money........ I say if you have a love for it, Go for it!!!!! Welcome to the Bolt wave

Size? You're worried about SIZE?
H311... The bigger they are the more fun they are!
Hopefully one day the FireTruck will be streetable. For now I enjoy my newer model 'Big Bolt'.
Welcome!

Welcome to the 'Bolt!

Gator is right, the bigger they are, the more fun they are! And don't worry about streetability, with enough interest, anything is possible with it.
