UGH! This forum continues to drag me earlier and earlier. Now I want one.
What a life he must have had!
This is probably the cleanest build I've ever seen. I thought it was nice to start with but it is going to be sweet.
You saw right through me. That I can do. With or without flops!
Looks like you're getting right after it. I did too, but now it's in a 100 pieces. Looks pretty straight.
Because changing tires is boring. 99.999% is kinda high. Think of all the people in china and india that have never even seen a shoe. What would...
I think milk came out of my nose after the Flip Flop comment. Handing them to a traveling gypsy first chance I get.
First let me just say, Holy Shark Shit!!! I had these wheels I was thinking about painting. Problem was three of the 4 had crap tires on em. Now...
I'd swear by it. No smell. Cheap. We are still talking about the peel n seal right?
Yeah, my hood/fender gap got worse when I put the new rubber kit in. Damn near a half inch raised. I'd like to hear how that's resolved.
I guess the moral is to look for legless people before you bitch about shoes! I kill me. Naw, I thought it was actually fun replacing the entire...
Love it!
Okay, so I've spent as much time tuning this carb as I have driving it. But I'm still stoked. I think I'm getting close. Yesterday I adjusted the...
Took it on a 100 mile road trip today. Wanted to recreate the rough idle when it warmed up. It ran fine the entire time. I guess I should be happy...
It keeps things moving for sure. I wasn't planning on doing any of the interior yet, but I figured it had to be done before the wiring...and the...
It has one return spring, but it may not be strong enough. The Hubcaps, I was tolde were off a 55 car I believe. They are the dogdishes with the...
Got the brakes on and working. Seems okay, but the pedal wont return all the way leaving the brake lights on if I'm not careful. Any ideas on...
Nice truck to start with. Keep posting.
I got my parts Brake parts in yesterday. Hope to have them on in the next week. I focused on weatherstripping the cab and doors while I waited. I...
Victory on the heater. I took the heater box apart to find the valve seized up. After some silicone lube and some elbow grease, I got it open...
Update: I have all the wiring sorted out and working. Brakes,turn signals and parking work. I'm still ironing out my heater dilemma. I...
I know I replaced them where they were, but thats not to say they were correct. I believe the hose from the intake is the pressure side, but I...
Update: Heater core not blocked, I think it might have been but after some sucking and blowing ( not a proud moment) it began letting air...
Yeah, after the 15-20 minutes it ran, I didn't feel the hoses getting hot like they should. I'm thinking I might have gotten air in it while I...
I wasn't sure I liked it in the first pic. But the full on side view in front of the house won me over. Thats a tight four door. Well done.
The lever is traveling all the way in its slot. It seems as if its working. I saw a picture of a 57 deluxe heater and I think this may be it.
Trying for better pics. If I get no I.D. on it, I'll pull it out. I let the truck run for at least 15 minutes and it barely broke luke warm. My 70...
This came in my 1955 Chevy Truck. I cleaned it up replaced the blower motor(with one I had laying around..dumb luck) and put it in. Ran the truck...
I think the one in Nashville is still there. I love the old signs.
