[Henry Highrise]

You should do it like you want to....If you are not completely sure what you want to do, then you just need to think about it some more. Don't do it a certain way just because others say to.

[deadbodyman]

the 54 is unique that year like 69 camaro,it seems disrespectful to chop it up but when i look at it i see what it could be as a radically modified rod.ive got 35 years in the biz and cant decide

[deadbodyman]

this is how i bought it,cab was off just sittin there for lack of space.think ill sell sell the chassie to some one in need,its all new and redone,not to bad a job ether ill keep the body mabee use my 85 truck chassie or just build me a frame

I say CUT IT UP!

Wow brian, when you say cut it up you aint kiddin,I decieded not to cut it or even touch it.It'll make somebody a nice little truck as is. I found a 32 ford cab in rough shape to cut up,This 54 should stay orig so I'll sell it and use the money for building the ford.I think a 32 would make a cool rat rod

[NEW INTERIORS]

Chop and drop it.. You know me, I will cut that baby up !!! right now !!!! Send it to me..I will show you what I would do....

[deadbodyman]

hahahaha, heck no Randy I saw what you did to that poor little ranger, LOL poor little truck dont know if its coming or going any more.Your like a mad scientist or Dr monroe putting differnt heads on little helpless animals...poor rescue ranger. I'll get wild with the 32 but your crazy man... I like crazy and I'll be looking for some wild suggestions from you on the 32 build. I think I found the right guy for the 54 anyway,a little more (down to earth than us)

Man you had me on the floor rolling with that one, My wife walked by and was thinking I had lost my mind,(AGAIN) Until I let her read this,Then she was also rolling.. Believe me when I tell you,What I did to that ranger is nothing compared to what I would do to that 54.. You right about me being a mad scientist, If I could build everything that's in my head,They would come get me with a stray jacket..

sounds like you got a good wife too,I think the crazy in me is what attracted my wife to me in the first place.

Anyone have any idea where this truck is now???

If I recall, it fell from a trailer shortly after it was first finished and in the late 80s someone (a guy named Glasscock??) bought it and restored it back to what you see in this pic.
Have no idea where it went after that

Maybe this will help. Imagine walking into the garage a few months from now and enjoying the progress you have made. Cut it up.

HEY,HEY,HEY, That 's my shop ,That Looks so cool 18. ...Charlie, ahhhh,mabee I dont want to sell it after all. Rodder 18 I gotta be able to do that,I just downloaded GIMP today,after three hours I ended up getting mad I couldnt even draw a straight line. I'm getting the photo shop tomorrow,I'll be stuck in the house for a few weeks so I'll use that time getting the hang of useing gimp and photoshop...I dont think I ever felt so stupid in my life as I do on the computor,but that just makes me want to master it even more.It cant be harder than trig,I learned that at forteen but that was before I found cars and girls ,now I can barely add.Thanks for the pic its a keeper.
