THIS IS MY BABY! I LOVE THIS TRUCK!! 1954 CHEVROLET 5100 SERIES CAB OVER ENGINE 2 TON TRUCK ORIGINAL VERY LOW MILAGE! THIS TRUCK STARTED LIFE AS A FIRETRUCK ANS SAT MOST OF IT'S LIFE QUIETLY UN-NOTICED IN THE BACK OF A BARN WHERE IT WAS DECOMMISSIONED IN 1964. I BROUGHT IT HOME GAVE IT A NEW FUEL TANK, CHANGED THE OIL AND COOLANT LUBED THE VALVETRAIN AND TOP OF CYLENDERS BEFORE TURNING ENGINE OVER BY HAND. ONCE I FELT IT HAD LUBE WHER IT NEEDED I ADDED FRESH GAS AND FIRED IT RIGHT UP FIRST TRY! AND RUNS GOOD. I INSTALLED A NEW MASTER CYL AND REPLACED A FEW OF THE HARD BRAKE LINES AND BLED THE BRAKE SYSTEM JUST TO GET THINGS WORKING AGAIN. I WOULD RECOMMEND PULLING THE WHEELS AND CHECKING EVERYTHING BEFORE CALLING IT A DAILY DRIVER. BRAKES HOLD PRESSURE AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES BUT ALL THE COMPONENTS ARE ORIGINAL AND YOU WOULD BE WISE TO GO THROUGH THEM BASED ON AGE ALONE. WIPERS, HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL RUNNING LIGHTS WORK. BLINKERS AND BRAKE LIGHTS NEED ATTENTION TO WORK. BRAKES NEED A NEW SWITCH AND WIRE HOOKED TO TAIL LIGHT. TURNS NEED A RELAY? MAYBE... OR A WIRE HOOKED UP, NOT SURE I JUST USE OLD FASHION HAND SIGNALS. TRANS & CLUTCH WORKS GREAT ALL 4 GEARS WORK WELL AND THE 2 SPEED REAR END SHIFTS GOOD TOO. REAR TIRE ARE NEW 900-20 MILITARY TRED THAT LOOK AWESOME! FRONT S ARE USED STEER TIRES AND WILL NEED REPLACED SOON DUE TO WHEATHER CHECKING ALL HOLD AIR WITHOUT LEAKING SHORT 10' BED RAILS READY FOR A FLATBED OR STRETCHED STANDARD TRUCK BED YOU CAN DECIDE ONCE YOU OWN IT. I HAVE LOCATED A 11' FLATBED WITH NICE WOOD BED AND STEEL FRAME FOR ADDITIONAL $ IF DESIRED. CAB IS A NICE 5 WINDOW STYLE, CAB CORNERS ARE VERY CLEAN, VERY LITTLE AMOUNT OF RUST IN THE INNER ROCKER / KICK PANEL JUST ABOVE THE FLOOR AND UNDER WHERE THE DOOR SEALS. EASY FIX A SMALL PIECE OF FLAT SHEET METAL AND A QUICK WELD AND IT'S FIXED. THE FLOORS ARE SOLID AS IS THE REST OF THE CAB. SOME PIN HOLES IN THE STEPS BUT ALSO A VERY EASY FIX, I THOUGHT DIAMOND PLATE WOULD LOOK GREAT HERE. GLASS IS INTACT, WINSHILD IS GOOD AS ARE THE WINGS AND CORNER GLASS. DOORS AND CENTER REAR WINDSHIELD HAVE CRACKS BUT ARE FLAT GLASS AND ANY GLASS SHOP CAN MAKE THESE CHEAP. AS I MENTIONED THIS WAS A FIRE TRUCK ORIGINALLY SO THERE ARE VERY SMALL HOLES DRILLED IN THE ROOF, DASH REAR FIRE WALL AND FENDERS TO MOUNT LIGHTS, RADIO AND OTHER EQUIPMENT THAT WAS REMOVED WHEN IT WAS DECOMMISSIONED. I HAVEN'T FIXED THESE BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN DEBATING ON WHEATHER OR NOT TO RESTORE IT AS A FIRE TRUCK OR AT MAYBE ADD SOME OF THE ITEMS TO INCREASE THE COOL FACTOR. I HAVE TAKEN THIS ON A COUPLE OF 200 MILE ROUND TRIPS, THEY WERE SLOW GOING DUE TO THE TOP SPEED OF 55MPH AND THE OLD FRONT TIRES SHAKING ME. OTHER THAN THAT IT DID VERY WELL AND HAD NO ISSUES NOT EVEN OVER HEAT IT RAN COOL ALL THE WAY. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BE TRAILERED TO YOU BECAUSE THE BRAKES AND FRONT TIRES ARE OLD AND I WANT YOU AND MY BABY TO BE SAFE. I'M SURE THERE'S SOMETHING I HAVE FORGOT SO FEEL FREE TO CALL OR TEXT ME @ 208-570-7625 AND I'LL ANSWER ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS THE BEST I CAN. THIS BODY STYLE IS THE SAME AS 1947, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, AND EARLY 55. THE WINDSHIELD AND GRILL ARE DIFFERENT AND ARE SPECIFIC TO THIS TEAR ONLY MAKING IT A VERY RARE ONE YEAR ONLY TRUCK.
