Hello everyone. Here is a list of some things I still need for my '54
Commander project followed by a list of things I might be interested
in trading. I'm also interested in buying some of these parts outright
with the exception of the supercharger. Eventually most of the items I
decide not to keep will be listed on Ebay to help fun this project.
Wanted:
1. 289 starter for manual transmission in good working order-would
love
an R series heavy duty model as it will be installed on an R1
2. clutch bearing shaft that runs thru bellhousing and holds throw
out
bearing-would like the whole setup for truck application (I
think they
are longer than the ones for passenger cars)
3. lastly and I know it's a long shot, I would love to put a Paxton
R-2/R-3
setup on this R1 that I have with dished pistons-and would need
just
about everything required to istall it on a stock R1
Might Trade:
1. Set of 53,54,55 front fog lamps-need to be rechromed
2. 54 Commander dash complete
3. 54 front and rear door exterior trim and chrome wiper trim
-need to be
rechromed
4. Set of 54 front grille bar inserts -complete-need to be
rechromed
4. older 4 bolt chromed valve covers and PCV breather tube-decent
And lastly if trading towards a supercharger setup, I would
consider trading my R1 air cleaner(very good) and heat shields(decent)
as well as my Offenhauser speed equiptment consisting of Offy valve
covers, Offy air bonnet, and Offy 4 barrel intake manifold with
Stromberg 4 barrel carb (Offy stuff needs polishing and carb needs
complete rebuild).
I'm located in Chico California. Thanks for looking.-Will

I believe that the '55 fog lamps are unique as the bumper design changed
for the 1955 model year...

''54 fog lamps will fit '53 and '54. '55 fog lamps will fit '55 through '64 C
and K models.
