Re: The 65 C30 Farm Truck

Decided today was a good day to get the old rear brake line pulled off the frame. I ran the new line down the driver side frame rail since it doesnt split off the front line anymore. The old lines were pretty rusty but surprisingly they still held pressure. I finished cleaning the oil out of the valve covers today. I started scraping the oil out, then let them sit with some degreaser on the oil. Whatever engine they were on before obviously wasnt very well maintained. I filled a 5 gal bucket with hot water and dish soap (because my wife would have killed me for using the tub or the kitchen sink) and scrubbed them with a scotch brite pad. After about an hour of scrubbing this is the result. Now I just need to finish cleaning out between the fins and I think Im going to paint them chevy orange and leave the fins bare aluminum.
