It turned out that this pickup had been a donor truck for a high school automotive shop. I bought the pickup and brought it home nearly three years ago. I found a front clip for it, though it wasn't a 1954, nor a GMC. I think it looks pretty good however, as a 54-50. Since I brought it home I have re-wired it and ran a new exhaust. It had pin holes in the gas tank so I repaired them. The master cylinder and brake lines had water in them so I completely went through them. The rear end that was on it was off a a car I think. I swapped it out with a 1970 Chevy six lug rear end. The gauges were all missing as well as all of the switches. I have replaced most of those now. I almost have a complete truck.

Alvin,
It could be a 1954 (Advance-Design or New Design) or later bed with a Chevrolet tail gate.
Rich,
The correct police are offensive when they criticize every vehicle that has non-standard-equipment. The correct police do their appropriate job when people (sellers, especially) say that something is correct/original-equipment, when it is not.
Nice truck, Bart

It came with the truck. The fender bolts all lined up just fine. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,987 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,987 | The correct police are offensive when they criticize every vehicle that has non-standard-equipment.
The correct police do their appropriate job when people (sellers, especially) say that something is correct/original-equipment, when it is not. I think we are in agreement, especially regarding the first part of that statement. My remark above was simply a light hearted response directly pertaining to the history of Bart's truck as he laid it out above. I like the truck too, and I meant no offense. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 208 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 208 | No offence taken. I'm glad you like the truck. | | |
