Great video. Sent it to Obama.

There is an a54 on Dallas craigslist if anyone is looking

I actually have a GMC with a 453t and twin sticks..

also my 1 ton was going to be my other daily driver

Well I'm in no hurry to axe the truck yet. Even right after I bought it the thought has crossed my mind of keep looking for another cab another day for the 1 ton and restore this beast. I will start cleaning her up soon. If i do keep the truck intact it will be likely put back into shape with more custom replacement parts rather than original parts as it would be extremely hard to track down all the little missing parts. This is my first tractor. I have operated alot of heavy digging equiptment and large forklifts but I have never even driven a true tractor.

I do agree to a point with it being a rare piece. I will try to get it running the seller is also throwing in a set of new injectors for the motor. However I do not need a tractor. I dont haul heavy loads and the lanova engine didnt seem to have a reliable history. I may keep the chassis around as I do like the rig and maybe keep an eye out for another A50 series cab to retore this chassis. This is my 1 ton chassis. It has a 453N detroit diesel with jakes bolted to a 5 speed clark and a 3 speed brownie box. Hd 70 rear with large sway bars. IFS up front with upgraded ball joints and lift bags. Also disc brakes from an RV on all 4 corners.

Hello. Just bought a 1951 A51 the other day. Still has the lanova engine. I bought this truck mostly for the cab and nose for my 1 ton project. MAy get it running and play with it a little first . Cab is mostly straight with minimal rust.
