Put your WD-40 away for squeaky hinges and mix up a 50-50 batch of Acetone and Automatic Transmission fluid.. it will make WD-40 look like water 💧... But give it time to soak in.. hope to see this when you're done.. love those 54's...
I have a 54, and it is closed drive shaft. My understanding is that the early 55 models were identical in exterior looks to the 54's but had open drive shafts. I noticed that you have an open drive shaft on yours, are you sure it is a 54?
You are correct that the 54s had torque tube still, and 1st Series '55s had open driveline. It's possible that somewhere in this truck's past someone swapped out differentials.since all the mounts would be the same, it would've been a simple thing to do.....That being said, the side emblems are definitely 54.
@@georgekininmonth2070 are you referring to the truck in the video? Or First Series '55 truck emblems in general? If referring to the emblems in general...I don't recall the minute details on the front emblem. However, all '55.1 side emblems had chrome over black background.
Hopefully getting back on it soon. We just finished building our house at the end of last year. Hoping to start back on the truck in the next few weeks
"hate it when".....Ah, the torment of today's immediate gratification syndrome. It's too bad that so many people refuse to allow for the fact that many times fun projects have to be set aside while the more important life things are taken care of. AD's Garage, I too am following these videos. However I am old enough and mature enough to wait. 😎
I'm also waiting for part three. I'm wanting to see how you go about removing the steering column from the steering box.
Well it was a good start but where is part 3? I would love to see the progress!
Yup, I’m just starting my 51 and would like to see more of what you have done
WD40 is a penetrating oil. It needs time to work. But it does work in time. Thanks for sharing.👍👍
Before you cut bolts, try heating them to red hot, that usually works
Well I’m taking down my 50’ Chevy look almost identical to yours. I’m excited to watch parts 3 and any others you have coming out.

What happened to Part 3??
Life lol hoping to get back to it somebody. For right now, it’s just sitting in the back corner
Use a heating coil for your rusted bolts so it comes off easier
Thank you! 💪🏼
How it’s going?
Troy Osborne slow lol got to get caught back up on it

@@willhorting5317 however the hood emblem has the blue bowtie and a white (1955.1) emblem I believe.
