Neither one is best for me, since I don't like reds so I can't help.

See the blue box with your name in it?? Well, go to Mother Truckers blue box and click on "dead zone truckin" and then you'll see a black box pop up. Look for "start conversation" and click on that and then you can type each other love letters:p:D

Thanks and I'm glad you found the info you needed. Peace

Here you go. Check this out 1954 Chevrolet Truck Shop Manual

I have never seen any type of "steel rod" on the rear motor mounts. The photo from my manual shows the mount exactly as my mount is: A "L" shaped mount that fits in the palm of your hand, with 2 bolts to the bell housing and in the case of my 51, 2 bolts to the crossmember, per side.

But that's what happens. The granny gear is designed for a certain rear ratio. Regardless, the engine, transmission and rear gear ratio, even the size of the tires should match so it all works properly, in unison.

People always treat a 4 speed granny gear transmission as a regular 4 speed. The Granny Gear should only be used for when pulling power is needed. Otherwise, the transmission is used as a standard 3 speed, meaning that 2nd gear will act as 1st gear, 3rd is 2nd, and 4th is 3rd.

I used them for tail lamp bracket, hood hinge bolts, etc......etc..........

Looks good. Now, I wish I had taken the time to sand off the stamping. Oh well.

I bought a few Stainless Bolts at Home Depot, but I didn't remove the lettering. I can live with that but it's a easy process and like you said, you save money.

Figure out how to polish the Stainless:confused::confused: What's to figure out?? You just get some compound and a buffer wheel and go to town:rolleyes::rolleyes:

I was at the local watering hole at the time, and I thought I had too much to drink. I couldn't believe what that truck sold for. I have a decent 51, any offers for $100,00.00 FIRM??:p:D

Did it come with a chest full of Gold:rolleyes:

By the way, make certain you measure the bed blocks. I bought new ones and they were 2 1/2 inches tall, when they should be 2 1/4 inches tall. All I did was cut the extra quarter inch off. I also glued aluminum tubing into the hole of the block and sprayed the block with some flex seal. I...

If they did, it was waffle pattern, which was also used on the inside roof area. I think Classic Parts sells a roll of if.
