Is the front bumper, and grill bar driver quality, and straight?

I'm sorry, I've sold the grill bar and have a commitment on the front bumper.

Was wondering if this piece of trim was available for purchase? It's the only thing I'm missing on mine

I'm pretty sure I do, but it will be the weekend before I have time to check. Please send me a PM or email reminder on Saturday.

That is a '55 wheel I owned one and would recognize another anywhere.

Hello BigReed79, I'd like $30 for the part plus shipping from Southern Oregon. If you would send me a PM or email with your shipping address I'll get the shipping costs for you. Attached are a couple photos, please let me know if you'd like to see close-ups of anything. John

You should save those fender skirt brackets. Those are hard to come by and cars that did not come with factory skirts will need them if they add fender skirts. They are good for 54 and 55's.

Thank you for the heads up. I've got someone interested in the steering column & box from the 1954. Can you remind me how to remove the pitman arm from the steering linkage? I've removed the large threaded plug from the end, then it looks like a piece slides on the outside of the tube. Once I slide that piece can I pry out the ball from the pitman arm? Is there something else I need to do to remove it? John

I got my shop manual out and it just looks like you take the cotter pin out and screw the plug out and it should come apart.

Door glass

Hi, Do you have any good door glass for either the driver or passenger side of a 1954 4 door sedan?
