Ending 2014

Ending this year.... The truck has gone through a few changes...

There was a motor swap I think in 2013... I pulled the 327 to replace the valve seals... they were hard as rocks...

I put a 1976 L-82 350 from one of my dad's corvettes in it :D

So far, I'm still running that motor....

the 327 is now in the 1950 2 door chevy...

I have had to upgrade the wire feeding the fuse block in the truck, as the original size I think was just too small for the new electronics I'm running...

I also switched to some red steel rally... i think they really set the truck off....

Not sure what's next for 2015... maybe air ride????

Good Job, looks super. I wasn't sure about the silver but it works !:eek:
Interior looks comffie also, and i've seen that type AC unit before :rolleyes:


Thanks!!!! There was alot of photoshops and renderings before I went for the paint idea... i was a bit nervous because I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but I love the effect and with the tinted windows the truck looks like it has a small chop :D
Gotta love those AC's that never run out of Freon! :D
 
Couldn't Resist Driving her Again...

Well, I got the Saddles re-welded on the rear end and the Holley figured out... I think[S.... so of course I had to take her for a drive or two...or three...maybe four... I've lost count since I got it all back together :D

I may even post a burn out video.... maybe hahahahaa.....

I found the mis-matched beauty rind and swapped it out... I guess that's what happens when you have 9 or 10 rings in a pile... and here I thought they were all the same... anyway here are some more pics!

I also installed the big foot pedal I found on e-bay... yes it's scratched and ratty looking. What's the point in putting something brand new in an old truck? :eek:

I still have a little electrical bug to work out, maybe I'll tackle that and straightening the bumper [;) over Christmas break...

I had one of those pedals on my 55 back in the 70's. It was vintage Moon equipment as I recall and only had 4 toes.:eek:
Looking good CC.
Torchie.
 
I sure like the looks of your C10 CC.
I just now noticed the dash and it's kool.

Thanks Old Iron!

I really have loved bringing this truck back to life... I've still got some work to do on the dash... three lights to go with the switches and a filler panel around the radio... and oh yes... another speedometer.. I broke the needle and the gears in it... Too fast for my own good I guess hahahahaaa:D
 
Christmas Cruising

Well... no snow for Christmas in my neck of the woods, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a blessed time! I got Vicky out for some sunshine... seem to have the bugs worked out of the Holley... for the most part... still cold natured at start-up, even with the electric choke[S maybe one of you guys know how to adjust that silly thing....

Took the dash cluster out and dropped the column and tracked down wires and found the issue... I think... so now I have a constant 13.5 +/- volts even with the lights on at night and the cooling fan and radio blaring :D

Also got some work on the 50 chevy... but you guys will have to look for that in my other build :p

I'm hoping March brings some heat.... freezing rain to night but 60's for the weekend!!! :D


I don't know if I posted it before but that is one good looking Chevy[dr

Thanks Bruno! I must say it has been a fun project and I love driving the wheels off of it!:cool:
