Bringing my old 54 back home.

[**grumpy**]

I've had lots of AD trucks, and one suburban. They are my favorite trucks.

I used to own a 54 deluxe cab, that I sold about 3 1/2 years ago.

Now that my daugther is almost 16, and I bought her a 63 bug with sliding ragtop, we don't have to squeeze all 4 of us into one vehicle.

My son is 12 1/2, and weighs 150lbs. Big football playing 7th grader.

My wife said since we have the bug, that maybe I should by another truck. Don't have to fit 4 in anymore.
And with school functions, football, friends etc., alot of the time it's just me and her, or maybe one of the kids, but if all of us go to a local cruise, my daughter can cruise "her" car.

I was searching, and got to talking to the guy I sold the truck to, and he said he needs to sell it to finish the big garage he's building.

So long story short, I'm bring it home. I've missed it.
I used to drive it everyday, everywhere.

He's upgraded it alot since then too.

New 700R4
driveshaft
Booster/dual m/c and hanging pedal assm., lines etc.
Some minor bodywork.
Completely rebuilt the front G-body suspension, including drop spindles.
Rebuilt steering box.
New rear c/m and new shocks.
Added flaming river joints and 57 chevy car steering column and wheel.
Painted inteior with lizard skin.
Welded 100 holes shut on firewall, and painted it nice.
All new latches, handle assm. in both doors. etc.

It had a moon tank in the grille. He removed it, and put a stock painted grille in.

I'm very excited to get it back.

Plus we want to use it to pull our 61 Scotty camper.

I may change up the look this time, and it may get bagged.

Stay tuned.

Here's pics from when I had it several years ago.
