Wandered off somewhere...
|
Remember that old 49 Chebby Truck that Choc was sellin'...
Well, here it is again...about six months and several thousand bucks later. I put in a new front suspension with disc brakes and rack and pinion steering. Also somewhat wider 'smoothie' wheels and radials. Rides and drives a lot better. Next is a set of headers, dual glass packs, and dual two bbl carbs... A pleasure to drive

Hey Mark, good to see your progress on that sweet truck. The improvements at the front end will certainly make it much more fun to drive, good choices! Like the signs on the door too.
Was watching Chasing Classic Cars the episode featuring micro cars and their unbelievable high selling prices at auction. toward the end of the show they were in Wayne's show room and there was a twin to your truck, same colors exactly, bet he wants tons for it. Looked great. Cheers Richard |

A beautiful truck like that shouldn't sound like a POS low rider IMO. But hey, it's yours and you can do whatever you want with it. |

Thanks guys.. I keep looking at it and am thinking I should remake the bed rails out of oak and stain them a lot darker. These are Cedar and just to light in color....Oak will look a bit classier.

The Fenton intake and exhaust are a nice touch
