1954 Chevy Truck EV Conversion

I am starting a frame up restoration of a 1954 ¾ ton Chevy truck and converting it to an electric motor.
The truck was purchased on ebay in September 2010 and was located in Bemidji, Minnisota.  A local transporter was hired to ship the truck to Huntsville, Alabama. Due to previous commitmentments, mainly working the sugar beet harvest the truck arrived at the end of November, it was in good condition.


The truck was towed to my house and it took six friends to push the truck into the driveway.


This is the final picture before we started to take it apart.
