old Chevy Restoration
Posted By Jim Hadfield on January 6, 2008
Many sites are available for helping with your restoration.
Here are the ones that I have found so far:
Chevrolet Passenger Cars and Trucks, 1937 – 1958

1954 – Futuristic Exteriors, Slick Interiors The 1954 design – popular in milky blue – expanded in width and became more modern in its design (meaning futuristic). As the price increased ever so slightly, so too did its sales (1,414,352) and, naturally, the excess of its interior design: wall to wall carpeting, two-tone all vinyl trim, new wheel discs. The model continued to tank around with its antiquated cast-iron six, yet the force of the V8 was next year’s promise. Additional developments for 1954 included the introduction of a sport coupe with “special fashion Fiesta upholstery”; an eight-passenger Townsman station wagon; and a four-door Bel Air which became the most popular Chevrolet of the year.

If you enjoy 54’s, you will like this. Thanks to Chris for getting the links.
Chris checked around. It looks like Fatman Fabrications is the best place to go for spindle drop kit’s. We can get the 2 inch drop kit spindles and steering arms (required) for $540.00
