My best friend Steve growing up had a 1954 5 window pick up and I LOVED it back then,almost 30 years ago, and love it still even now after all these years.. He started the restore on it so the frame and mechanical all completed.... for one reason or another life changes and he has given the truck to me to finish out the DREAM! I am however missing one major important part... missing pitman arm from steering box to the drag link. I am not sure just at this point how I will finish the project to be a rat rod or go all the way and go for broke... I can't wait to get it on the road so leaning more towards a rat rod..... I will try to get a picture or two up soon.
Thanks.

Welcome Cindy - you've just joined the best truck club on the net!
What part of Ontario are you in?
Mark | | | | | Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 3 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 3 | Good morning,
A small town near Fergus which is near Guelph.
Had a small amount of time this week to work on truck. Got her fired up... sounds awesome... because she sat soooo long since she was restored previously... wanted to make sure all was good... I think I will start with the truck bed... order new cross sills and wood, blast the box, prime and paint... as the frame is completely done several years ago.. it can then sit back on there and look great.. Then onto the cab.. It too was blasted many years ago and sits with a coat of primer but there are a few areas that need a little more attention. I hope to work on this through out the fall and winter months and get her on the road for spring.
Well back to work I go..
Enjoy your day..
Cindy
