Not just a truck, this was my daily transportation for 21 years
My 1954 Chevy Pick-up I owned since 1981. This was my daily commuter vehicle. I had completed quite a few modification over the 21 years I owned this truck. I persevered in retaining the stock 1954 Pick-up 3100 series body, interior and gauges. Since this was my daily commuter, I added front disc brakes, power steering and a tilt steering column for comfort. I graphed in a stock 1976 C-10 Pick-up 2WD IFS suspension, Engine, and Tranny. I also utilized a 1980 C-10 12-bolt Pick-up Rear-end. In 2002, I sold the Pick-up and bought the motorcycle pictured below as my daily commuter. I'm currently looking for a 'running' 1954 or 1955 (1st series) Chevrolet Suburban. Does not need to be all original but my wife says it must be in running condition (hehe). The nose of the Suburban will look exactly like this truck. If you have a lead, contact me via e-mail

This became my next enjoyable means of daily transportation

After owning the '54 Chevy Pick-up for 21 years, I reluctantly sold it and bought a used Kawasaki Nomad motorcycle as my daily transportation. Kawasaki had done a great job when developing this motorcycle. I like the style plus the bike rode nice and smooth.  After a few years of riding the bike, in its virtually stock form, I made many cosmetic changes in my garage at home while still riding almost 100,000 miles in the nine years I owned it. I have since sold it and purchased another bike, so the process starts all over again.
