O/T Going Oldschool.

Well I always had a dream of taking an older style 1950 truck and just turning it into the baddest street rod..

Well I might of found an old 1954 chevy truck for sale for only about 800,body is in good shape just no engine but i can change that.

Here are my ambitions...

-take off bed replace with diamond plating
-build a maltese cross out of diamond plating on back
-big ass tires on back
-white champagne with white ghost flames
-dont know about the engine yet
-white leather interior

I know I can get the diamond plating for free because my grandpa has his own diamond plating cutting place..so i just hope that this all works out.

Suggestion for the engine: Blown big block :evillol:

Trucks rule. Im in the process of restoring a 70 chevy. I might do it up street rod style. 72 and older chevy trucks are sweet. make sure its not rusty man..floors and rockers and welds on lower doors are common and can be costly.

what's your plans for the engine? i've always wanted a bad azz street rod truck...but theres not alot out there that i really like....other than the 1960's Ford F100's....

i dont really know older style engines all i know right now is the looks that i want for the truck.

put the new chevy big block 672(somewhere around ther) in it that would be tight ass 600 some hps and and 600 sometin torque

ha ha that would be nice. but yea i went an looked at the truck it was pretty beat up on the inside, and the frame was rusted but the guy also had some ferrari's sitting there, jaguar and about 5 mercedes and were all in good shape.
