That looks like early to mid 60s pickup rear suspension. The original frame and leaf springs have been cut off forward of the rear axle. Looks a...
Looks like a 3/4 ton cab (based on the leading J in the door jamb tag) on a shortened 3/4 ton frame (based on 125 1/4" wheelbase frame was the...
I'm attempting to upload 1954 Chevy specs.
I'm going on GMC specs and I don't have '54 and first series '55 info, so take this as non-expert testimony. I assume that the Chevy and GMC...

The rear part of the frame is much farther apart on a 1/2 ton truck (46" ?) than a 3/4 ton truck (around 36"). Who knows if the cab is original...

You and Kate are both welcome. Did you get a chance to look at the diode solution for your parking light project?
Jeff, I don't think gluing the contacts is a good idea. They are supposed to be spring loaded in a way that allows the contacts to move a little...
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooops! Kate and Jeff called back this afternoon and the problem, or one a lot like it, is back after they tried switching...
With Kate's (Jeff's wife) help we got his problem straightened out. Wires were swapped at the left side socket. We also came up with a simple...
Separate names with a comma.
