I forgot about those airplane throttle control they had in them. I think those looked so neat in them. Flaps down , Wheels down. Throttle back for landing.

When I did the restore on the one I did. I had to jack the front of the cab up about an inch on each side. After the doors lined up and closed properly. They were a pain. We had a shop make the cab supports for me to weld in. I did not have a bbrake to make them and this place made all the right curves too.

Very cool that it runs and drives.

What are all those controls right by the steering column for?

Those If I remember were your heater controls and one was a choke. I think they also open the floor vents.

Nice 56 Vic I caught a glimpse in the video.

Your 54 is a cool find - especially when you get it home and can get it running right away. Nice score there.
