Transmission

When I bought this truck it came with 2 extra transmissions, today the one that was in the truck was the one we inspected and are going to use. The one issue with it was leaky gaskets which are getting replaced. (three speed on column)

I also would like to thank everyone who has been helping me along with this project....Chris at Fair Towing and Recovery Inc.,(630.372.9773) Brian and Mike at Ron's Auto (630.351.5354)
(best prices and honest people)

I would also like to thank the inventor of BEER for making this a pleasure!

First Post

My name is Brian and I live a few miles northwest of Chicago. This is a 1954 Chevy 3100 stepside. My friend Vince bought it for $5500 It was originally from California and has very little rust. We want the truck to be as original as possible but were adding power steering. We will be posting plenty of pictures showing the progress along the way. All comments are welcome.
