I have been in to drag racing since I was 9 years old, and my dad has always built show cars. So my whole life I have wrenched on my dad’s cars he has built and cars I have raced. Until last year when I decided to give up drag racing and build me one than can actually turn around on a 12 lane freeway. So enough of about my history, I ran across a 54 Chevy truck that is in good shape with very minor rust. The planes are to build it to flat out hall ass. The body work has already begun list of modifications.
6” stretch thru the doors
2” chop with laid back windshield
Raise the running boards to the bottom of the cab so I can get it as low as I can to the ground. With doing that I will raise the bed up the equal distance to close the big gap that these trucks have behind the bed. Also sectioned the front fenders so everything lines up
Shave the vent on the passenger side but thinking about keeping the door handles don’t know yet.
I have an lq4 motor that will be built to hopefully push around the 900 HP. Area
4L80 Trans to back it up and would like to do manual valve body with paddle shift we will see.
Still wondering on rear end defiantly triangulated 4link not IRS
Looking for advice on front suspension
So I hope y’all enjoy the truck build as much as I will. I will keep you posted on my progress.
I can't figure out why the pics wont atttach as soon as i can i will get them up
