"54 Olds: I have two front fenders, hood, deck lid, rear winshield, bumbers, a bunch on interior crome (?), radio, clock, and V-8 engine, and rear end. 54 Olds four door. (Orem, Ut)

 

Do you have fender skirts ? & outher interrior parts ? Email me with more info larry@vintageozarks.com

 

how much are you asking for the hood? and is it in good condition?
I have a 54 Rocket 88 and the hood is bent, I'm debating on whether to fix it or just replace it

 

Repair it. these hoods are made of heavy steel .Lengthen the hinges past the fold. mine had a wooden brace under the RH side .

 

Is the rear end of any use? Ratio?

 

The '54 used leaf springs, and yours uses a coil spring/ladder bar configuration, same as my Coupes. It is bigger and the right width, but used a larger U-joint. Olds/Pontiac "Anti-Spin" differential won't fit '56 and earlier.

I transfered the '50 brackets to my '57 Olds housing, replaced the rubber bushings with aluminum, "boxed" the trailing arms, and had the '50 shocks rebuilt.

Rides like a luxury car, on the street/highway, and has covered the 60' in the high 1.5s.

Did I read your mind?

Yeah, for that trouble maybe I should keep the Ford 9 inch I got for free.

 

That's a plus. Spare parts for a 9" are readily available.
