A 1954 Truck Shop Manual does not seem to be readily available but a 48-51 manual (with a 52 supplement) is available from many vendors and on eBay (see manual-link below). There is one universal joint in this set-up. http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/shop/1948_51truck/index.htm | | | | | Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 45 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 45 | Thanks for the info.
