8-10-09: I've had a bunch of crap going on ( other vehicle repairs, being sick, being broke or just not feeling like working on it ) most of the summer. so I haven't done much of anything on the 54.

I made a minor change to my plans. I decided for what I need I could live with the stock Dana 50 twin traction beam front diff assembly on the 84 F250 chassis ( instead of swapping in the stronger Dana 60 out of the 87 F350 ) . So I sold the D60 to get some cash for some other parts.


I got 3 more gauges I needed for my 54 for birthday gifts. I got the Tach, oil pressure and the vacuum gauges. So I've only got one more to get. I still need to pick up the matching speedometer.

Hopefully later this week I'm going to start pulling the body off the 84 F250.
