Well, I have a heck of alot to catch up on. Thanks administration for fixing the uploading problem! Since I last put up pictures I have painted the rear frame, gotten a new set of tires, primed the bed and fenders, got a new set of mirrors,
new fuel tank, brakes, and a master cylinder. Here's a picture of the mirror, Jr West Chrome off of Classic Parts.

A little history on the rig, It was bought new in 66 and used as a log truck until the 90's. The original bed was taken off and replaced by a flatbed. It was loaded to the hilt with logs and served as an off road truck even though it is only two wheel drive. Sometime in the early 2000 somehow a friend of mine found it in the revene and talk to the man and he said he could have it if he could take it outta their. After putting some fuel down the carb and cranking it they finally got it to start, after 13 years off sitting in that revene. My friend decided he didn't want it so one day I found him in my driveway with the truck and he said I could have it. It sat for another 5 years before I started the restoration.

I love it when there is a good story behind a truck. It's come a long way!

Thanks! It has come along way.

Some more pictures....A new 100 amp single wire alternator really improved battery charge.

Here's a picture of the flatbed that used to be on it during loging days. That thing weighs about 600 pounds! Sometimes I wonder why I took it off, Most of the time I'm glad I pulled it off!LOL!

Thanks! the arms on the mirrors are adjustable, loosen the bolt and they slide back and forth, come in handy so the mirrors don't appear diagonal.

Just another picture, of the parts truck.

[TJ's Chevy]

Gonna put the truck to good use today on the farm while waiting on a friend from here on getting his spare tire carrier. Hoping to do a spare tire attachment fender style.

[TJ's Chevy]

Found a spare tire fender today, I'll post pictures of it later.

[TJ's Chevy]

Here's a picture of the new spare tire fender. Couldn't pass it up for $50!

Yeah, before I got the 4 barrel I was running a 350 holley two barrel. Either I blew both the power valves or something else was srewed, cause sometimes it would work great and other times not.

WOW! WOW! I must be a good painter! HAHAHAHA!!! No they are oem off my 64 donor truck, funny though one of them has some rot out in the usual spot. Can't see it in the picture I suppose.

I started with a 350 cfm holley 2 barrel, then I went to the 600 cause I got the 4 barrel intake and headers.

A great hei is the Davis Unified ignition. You can purchase them at Precision Automotive Specialists. They run $300 I believe but deliver 50,000 volts!
