Hot Rods Let's finish the 50 Chevy pickup

You sure that's the seat's fault??? LMFAO!!!

 

OMG, is that a 2 wheel peel?
Never know, just might gain you some time in the 60ft area .... yeah for you!

 

Looking good!

 

No no no Lloyd....Big smokey tire shredding burn out, the kind where the neighbors call the fire dept. Ask me how I know

 

And I'm always by myself! How am I gonna pull that off crazy ass?? Guess I could set my phone on the ground lol

 

Sad to say that I'd bet money on the truck being quicker than my elco was lol...

 

Yeah, I wish I was skinny

 

Man, you just gotta move that seat towards the drivers door more. Who cares if whoever is riding shotgun is near the door or not?

 

I see the rear brakes lock up just fine...

 

Barn find lol... he also told me he has a Ford bench that's 60" wide, has a fold down armrest. So I'm good on the seat now. Ordered the power steering pressure hose. It's got a 1 wire alternator on it, but it's not charging. I've tried exciting it, revving it up, etc... thinking about ordering a rebuild kit for it.

 

Ford seat, I guess those headrests come off.

 

Hey! I recognize those seats! Little Truckdoctor has a truck they fit in. When you order your rebuild kit, don’t forget a new regulator.

 

They still sale rebuild kits ?

 

If you leave them as-is, you need to then get an all new silk wardrobe.
Don’t forget about wearing matching slippers when you get in the truck.

Yes, I know you change that, but is the fit good?

 

Oh, they come off. With the right saw, everything comes off.

 

Yeah it's a complete 1 wire kit, $38

 

For alternators?

 

Lol yeah, I don't know about the fit until I go get it, I'm getting both seats. If I use the Ford seat, it'll probably get a Mexican blanket interior.

 

Very nice! I never thought about checking Amazon. That’s a darn good price too. The last time I rebuilt a GM 10 SI was on an International 184 tractor and I bought the parts from The Rock for a late 1970’s Nova. I realized I could probably buy a new Chineseum alternator from The Rock cheaper, but I enjoyed rebuilding the OEM unit and keeping as many of the GM parts as possible.

 

This alternator was rebuilt probably 2 years ago, never used. I had a buddy that owned a starter shop and I'd take him cores, he'd fix me a couple in exchange. This one had been laying around the shop. I don't know why it won't charge, and the worst part is my buddy retired and sold all of his stuff

 

@Lloyd's paint & glass Yeah I remember now. Last time I checked local parts store they were more than the alt.
That's why I didn't buy it.

 

I'm old , kits used to be $12. New alt. was $39. Times have changed.

 

And I'm becoming a monster since I've become an Amazon prime member way too easy to buy stuff lol. They have a Rochester quadrajet on there new for like $175! I'm curious as hell about it.

 

Check it out

 

I looked up a 10si and I think it was about $80 before my discount

 

Bought one for a o/t car. $187. Old cars are way better.

 

Where is this at, Lloyd?
Ie site

edit. Oops, Amazon.

 

I would be very interested in how that new Quadrajet works. People can laugh all they want, but I’ve had excellent success with eBay and Amazon carburetors on power equipment and farm tractors.

 

Ok boys....slowly back away from the chinesium carburetors..they can be deadly

 

I don't know this to be fact, but I'm betting our dearly beloved mainstream carburetors have some imported flavor to them in one way or another lol... like I said, I'm curious about them lol...
