Re: My 54 GMC Build
That is a sick looking truck. I have been off for a while. I have been finishing my 49 ford and it really consumed my time. Finished painting the truck monday. Two big projects left to tackle. One is getting the column in tighter to the dash and two lowering the rear. I am thinking axle flip since shackles wont work. I thought about cutting the leaf springs in half and doing a panhard and bags. I have all the parts for bags but not sure how to plumb and wire it. Not sure the leaf cutting will work either

Re: My 54 GMC Build
Thanks. The truck is done being painted, and I drove it out of the shop finally.
Problems... It starts drives a little then dies. Starts back up and backfires. I am going to change the cap rotor wires and fuel filter. Just in case you just started following this truck sits on a 93 Silverado chassis with harness. When I wired the dash some how I am missing the neutral safety switch wire. I didn't cut any so I am not sure where it goes or why the truck starts without it.

Re: My 54 GMC Build
I am particularly interested in how you do the dash and interior. I have a 54 cab that's going on what was a 49 Chevy. I like what you have done and would like to come by sometime. I'm In Fallbrook.

Re: My 54 GMC Build
Runs great now. New fuel filter cap rotor wires plugs and coil.
No codes in the computer

Re: My 54 GMC Build
I am sure there are other opinions, but this year and body may be the best of the ADs. A great looking truck. I am a fan of stock appearance.

Re: My 54 GMC Build
Thanks.
I am debating changing the wheels to steel with caps. The tool box covers the top of the tank. So if I need to change the pump I don't have to drop the tank. Love these trucks
