Project pretty twin, '54 COE

So it's time to start again. this time I picked up a '54 5 window COE. This one is missing a lot of small parts but all the important stuff is there and in good shape. Body is very solid with only one cab corner needing replacement. At some point this one was stripped and then coated with some kind of clear brush paint. The plan is to basically build a twin of the '47 with the exception of finished paint, high level of detailing and nice interior. The '47 has turned out the be a great truck, gets 18 MPG, hauls good, looks cool, and I am very happy with it all the way around. Because of this, I will build the '54 the same way, '03-06 Silverado chassis and drive train. There will be some minor changes. How would you like to see this behind you at 80 MPH!
Oh, and most important, I have a current registration and paperwork with the truck. I will do the transfer tomorrow. This one came out of Western Georgia.
Rob
