She Is Alive!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well spent the afternoon cleaning more so I could get my truck out of storage FINALLY. Here are a few pics that I took.

It sat for 2 years, put the choke on pump a few times and turn the key, last time I started it it was winter sometime, battery was still good.

BAD NEWS, 1 flat tire ( but the full size spare is still good) and I lost my brakes, the back resivoir was empty but the front was fine, the pedal goes all the way to the floor. I have just enough brakes to move the truck around the yard.

AND NOW>>>>>

getting ready to empty her out from when we moved from our house

Damn it's dirty

First thinngs first ( before changing the flat tire even )cap comes off

Ahhh spare tire! ( next to the flat tire)

next thing on my list( that ugly A$$ bumper

Looking better already!

One last one for now.

Look's like a great start, I see you do fast removal of ugly item's.

Next is the mirrors, but ran out of daylight!

Looking good! Looks 100% better without that cap!

The mirrors could go but the bumper is classic!

It's awsome getting back into a classic isn't it? Kinda like hooking up with an old girlfriend...you forget about the short comings and just look at how awsome she looks and how comefortable it feels.
Of course getting the wax out makes it even better. (Am I talking bout the old girl friend now...or the truck?)
