Parting out a couple of 54 Hornets

    The city I live in is giving me a hard time about the Hudsons I have in my field, so I need to find them a new home. I have a pair of 54 sedans I am parting out before I haul the skeletons off. Any requests for parts.......really cheap! No power steering, gas tanks, glass or motor/trans left, but mostly everything else is available. I am in Denver, but willing to ship.

    Hi Don,
    Do you have the 54' grill, front turn signals, front bumper, headlight trim bezels, passenger side door handle, and steering wheel horn?
    I think that is all I am missing.

    If we don't get too much snow tonight, I will take pictures of the cars and post them. There is some rust around the wheel wells of both of them, but I never looked underneath to see how far it goes. I am also parting a 51 that is really solid.......I was going to cut out the entire rear perimeter frame of that car. I wasn't planning on going to Big Country, but I am sure there are a few guys headed that way from our chapter that could deliver stuff.

    The city recently changed the zoning in my area from agricultural to residential, and now I have to clear out all the my cars, or get them registered and drivable. I was able to get a few of them running, but 6 of them needed to go. I sold one complete car so far, and Dick Bell has an interest in another one.......4 more to go.

    Don, I need a gas cap and an oil dip stick. Any luck? I could also use the plastic ring that goes with the antena base under the plastic ball that rotates the antena. Let me know-no need to play in the snow for these but they would be helpful.

    I definitely have a dip stick. I will check on the others.

    Some 54's that had power brakes have a longer dip stick along with a long tube.

    Chuck,
    The 54 has a Dana rear end, and you can put any gears in it as they are still available.

    It's fairly easy to make a single carb unit work . The only real difference is the dual stove pipes for the chokes .

    The adapter measures about 4 1/4 inches from center to center on the widest part, on my exhaust manifold measures about 3 3/4 inches at the widest part

    Were either cars equipped with power brakes. If so, do you have the vacuum tank?

    Hi Don, I need the cast iron ring gear carrier from a 3.07 ratio rear end, the one used with late 52 to 54 Hydramatic equiped cars. The rears had the removable rear cover and come out somewhat easy after pulling the axles. Bruce

    Bruce. These were 3 w/OD cars. Probably a 4.11 rear, but I will look
