Hi Sid38,

Good to see another Brit with a 54 on this forum
I am in West London, where abouts are you?

I am fixing up my 54, some pic's in my gallery
(left click on my name above this post and select view gallery)

Introduce yourself on the 48-60 forum there are some very knowledgable and helpful people on there, when your truck arrives get a gallery going, we like pictures

[QUOTE=sid318]Keeping the appearance of my truck basicly stock, lowered a little, put a 5 speed box behind the flat 8, 12 volt electrics and power brakes

in the past I played with old Fiat 124's, kit cars, custom bikes also worked for a rally cross team, now purely into American Fords, as well as my truck I have a 1972 Convertible Mustang

I go to the American car and Hot Rod shows when I can

Regards
