It's sitting on a S-10 frame with "EXTREME" ZQ8 factory lowered suspension, front and rear sway bars and quick ratio steering box. I'm running a 350 crate motor with a 700R4 transmission and Camaro rear with 3:42 gears and 15x8 Corvette rallys. Body mods include; top chopped 1-1/2", wing windows removed and converted to 1 piece glass, front bumper bolts were shaved, and the dash, firewall and rear roll pan were smoothed. It also has the stock 20 gallon S-10 fuel tank, power windows and tilt wheel. I plan on driving the wheels off it this summer and finsh the interior, install bed wood, etc. over the winter months.

nice truck, got any interior pics

After 5.5 years of effort we put our 54 on the road in July of 08. In July of 09 we had 12.5K miles on the clock. It is my daily driver. Still have the hood to paint, the AC to install and the sound system to finish but until then I driving it. It is nice to drive something different than the Camry or Suburban.

Even in Houston traffic people tend to make room for you when you drive something that brings a smile to their face and yours.

This is my Dad's 50 they have started on it and should hopefully be finished early summer 2010. It will have a 5.3l out of a 2002 chev p/u with an s10 front clip and a custom frame the rest of the way back so the floor can be dropped six inches to get the room needed for him to get in with a wheel chair. I did end up with the frame with the rebiult 6 cylinder and an automatic tranny in it a great start to something for me.

I gotta say- there are some very nice trucks here. I love the body style of the older trucks. My next project (hopefully) will be something like FiftyTwo's-- that is a clean ride!!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Here's mine. I am going on a 9 yr build. When I started I was single with no kids. This build has survived a marriage and two small boys.
I am in the final assembly stage. I hope to be able to drive it by next fall.

95 LT1, 4760E, air ride on a modified g-body frame. At some point I need to make a decision on wheels. Either 20" or 22".

The interior will be all black. Bucket seats and a custom center counsel. Chrome tilt Ididit column with a billet specialties steering wheel. digital gauges and vintage air A/C.

Be careful what you wish for. This project started out much simpler many years ago.

My new acquisition. A 1959 Chevy Viking! We named her "Helga" She has seen a lot of tobacco and some open roads, about to see a driveway to hang next to a 57 3100 truck.

Helga took up every inch of our trailer. Big fun for a big truck! Anybody with Viking 40 experience please contact me!
