Ice Cream Truck
Hello everybody just wanted to post a picture of them 69 p10 ice cream truck I built for my wife. She has been running a successful hand dipped ice cream truck in Okc for the last two years. She is about two weeks away from the start of the season and I have a long to do list. We were having issues with truck at the end of the season that I could not get worked out. I am hoping the new hei distributor will solve some of the rough idle and backfiring....its the only thing I haven't tried. I was looking for advice from experts on what might make it easier for my wife to drive like disk brakes or power steering etc. any advice would be appreciated.
I also have before and after pictures as well as build out if anyone is interested. Thanks in advance |

Re: Ice Cream Truck
Hey,I love it! Very cool (no pun intended). I'd say it's fine as it has been all these years. Keep the profit in her pocket. Drum brakes work just fine,especially with the type of driving that rig does. It ain't no sports car

Re: Ice Cream Truck
What engine? A bad intake gasket can cause the issues you are discribing. Maybe disk brake on the front, but the biggest gain would be to add power brakes. A list of what the truck is/has would help. And if you bribe us with an ice cream cone, well, we will ALL jump in to help! And, as always, MORE PICS!

I was told it was originally a good humor ice cream truck.... we nicknamed it jawbreaker because it had been repainted so many times when I started sanding it looked like the layers of a jawbreaker candy. I think I counted 9 different colors. It was originally a light blue green. |
