Re: Mom's '54 project build thread

Here's some pics of what's been done to the front and rear as of yet. Anyone following my build thread will recognize the long bed sides.lol The rear 3/4 ton trucks had leaf springs that mounted on the oustide of the frame rails. The new 1/2 ton kit mounts inside. She likes the look and stance of the 3/4 ton, but wants it to ride more comfortably. And this will be a daily driver for her. Also, it's sitting on 14" GM factory rally wheels from my dad's '70 El Camino. We're trying to talk here into a 16" wheel with wide white walls.
