    Infamous Grill Guard

    Hello all, Been a very long time. I sold the 54 to a guy that "made me an offer I couldn't refuse"... We are in the process of "Downsizing" and clearing out a bunch of stuff. One item is the Grill Guard from the old truck - shown in the photo. Anyone here want it? I fear it is too much...

    Had a slight problem today...

    Hello all, Picked my 54 up from the paint shop after it's final touch-ups. Started down the road and boom... Anyone have a good line on a replacement 3 speed for a 54? Or is this time to go open drive line and put in a T5?

    Scott Speedometer Service

    Has anyone had any dealings with Scott Speedometer Service in Pontiac, MI? My odometer is accurate but the speedometer needle moves but is inaccurate. I talked to the folks at Scott and their process is for me to send them the speedo unit and they will call with an estimate once they...

    235 Red Line

    Hello All, Specifics: 54 235 Stock 3 spd tranny rear end gears? 3.90 or so I'd guess... Haven't spun the rear tires. Yesterday I took the truck out on the highway and I realized: a.) I have no idea how tight I AM winding the engine, and b.) I have no idea how tight I SHOULD be...

    Red Light on Speedo

    Hello all, On my 54 there is a red light at the top of my speedometer. It comes on when the headlights are turned on. It is not the high beam indicator as it is at the bottom of the speedo. I'm thinking that it's not a check engine light ;) What is it? My thought is this: First of all...

    3 Window to 5 Window Conversion

    I see in the catalogs that you can buy the sheet metal, the glass and weather stripping for a 5 Window cab. Is it realistic to cut the rear window section out of a 3 window and replace it with the 5 window parts? I'm not afraid of the body work or the welding. Is there any experience with...

    Setting a value for insurance

    I was talking to my insurance agent about insurance for my 54 Truck. They suggested that I tag and insure it as an Antique Vehicle. I live in Texas. Also, she said she needed a value. How do you guys insure and tag you trucks? How do you determine a value? Cheers
