1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver

[Coach529]

Solid weekend in the garage.....despite other responsibilities!!



Swapped out my junkyard alternator for a new rebuilt......now we are charging.

Chased down a noisy vacuum leak.

Bolted on the hood and front bumper.....looks much better.

Every errand this weekend ended up being a mini cruise session.......took the LONG route everywhere!! :-)

I think my battery is junk......I cannot get it to take more than 12VDC even after sitting for 12hours on a trickle charger......last winter was tough on it.

Motor pulls good off the bottom, but needs some tuning in the midrange. Should pull harder I think. Really please overall though. Runs awesome......so happy!!

Ended the weekend with a long cruise with my oldest and youngest......good times!!
