    Hi all,

    recently retired and just this week got myself a '54 GMC 102 Deluxe w/Hydramatic to play with. Pretty much all original and already gone thru. I had planned on finding a '47-'54 to restore, but couldn't pass this one up when I found it.

    Nothing much to share at this point other than to say "hi".

    What really makes these guys perk up is pictures---lots of pictures. Sandy is in the finishing stages on her 54 Chevy with Hydramatic and it's been a hands on project so you may already have an information source. Your truck looks like all it needs is driving; nice.

    Thanks everyone! I'm certainly enjoying the truck!! Been to a few cruise-ins with it already and it is getting positive attention!

    Roland.
