drove it to dinner! Always draws an admirer or two.
some gal in a brand new 4X4 Chevy crew cab with paper plates stopped and said she thought it looked better than her brand new truck!

Wonder how she would think if she rode with me on the freeway, and couldn't hear the radio at 70 mph.

Got my stainless fender trim back from the shop today all straightened and polished. Now I just need to decide what to do with 'em.

Just a thought, what I did with my stuff for my truck and my 39 chevy was wax them and I wrapped them in news paper for storage. Some of my truck parts lasted about 16+ yrs and looked great.

U joint fell apart on my way home from work doing bout 50mph. Got it into a church parking lot, borrowed a buddies car and had it fixed by 8...I hope its fixed anyway, not sure if the replacement was the right part.

Took it out on the highway and put a few more miles on it before putting it away for the winter. Speedometer reads way fast and haven't got the gas gauge working yet otherwise all good.

Where was that Mike? She's looking sweet as all get out.

What was the story with that '55-'56 next to you?

I got her out on the road for maybe the last time this year, before i start the body work on the front fenders. I thought it would be nice for a couple of pictures! lots of color in the back ground, with all the leafs changing.

Thanks Ray

I brought it home, finally. Looking forward to starting this one. Its a 54 but has a older grill on it. No title (need to get that situated) but remarkably rust free. Will need very little repair to be a solid truck. This will be more of a driver/shop truck build.

Hit the Pomona swap meet this morning. Picked up a 7-blade fan, crank pulley, air cleaner, XX gloves and an old Crescent wrench.

Changed the back up circuit wiring so I can also use a switch to turn on the lights and wired the door switches for the courtesy lights. I borrowed Orge's idea for hidden switchs that work off the upper hinge. Also scored a pair of 68-72 4wd front hub caps so I do not have to cut up the 2wd ones.

Picked up my gas tank and radiator from the shop, they cleaned and sealed the tank and boiled out, tested, and repaired the radiator. I might be driving before too much longer.
