I snapped this pic this morning. I parked the truck outside in -33C weather without a block heater. Went out and cranked her over and she started no problem.
Love this pic!!

nice grille! is that a repro?

dubie · 11-30-2004, 03:17 PM

nope, it's a replated one I bought off a fellow board member

It's in amazing condition and he gave me a sweet deal on it

cojnit · 11-30-2004, 03:18 PM

I am quite jealous!

70c10 · 11-30-2004, 03:22 PM

Tim, those flames keep her warm

**CPNE** · 11-30-2004, 03:32 PM

27 below F-scale (for us Yanks) and no frost on the windshield? He had it in a heated garage and just rolled it out for the pic.

J/K Tim, but why no frost? Is your air that dry, or had it been left running?

dubie · 11-30-2004, 03:45 PM

it had been running for 15 minutes when I took the pic

**CPNE** · 11-30-2004, 03:49 PM

It ain't cold if 15 minutes clears the windshield. Cold is when you have frost on the windshield and it continues up onto the inside roof too

dubie · 11-30-2004, 03:53 PM

i hear ya man. The truck had been sitting inside the shop all night nice and warm and was backed out around 7:30 am. This pic was taken 4 hours after being parked outside.

Do you drive her in the snow? What do you do for traction?

That's not smoke, it's a vapor trail which is what happens when water-saturated hot gases meet super-cold air.

Similar to a jet's vapor trail. I think tim needs a sticker that reads:

"I'm not driving fast, just flying low"

dubie · 11-30-2004, 04:44 PM

HAHAHAH Jeff. I don't usually drive it in the winter. I just brought it outta winter storage for a Christmas parade we are having on Friday. My parents own the only Jewellery store in town and they wanted the truck to decorate the flatbed with ornaments and lights . We are going to put a generator on the back to run all the lights because there are over 2000 bulbs

I'll make sure to get a ton of pics. And I know what lots of you are thinking when I tell you this, but the parade is a "Light Up In The Spirit Of Christmas"

HAHAHAH

Sounds like a vapor trail of "another" kind

I hope the marching band isn't down wind. It'll be just like the ending to Animal House

dubie · 11-30-2004, 05:02 PM

TOGA TOGA TOGA!!!!

Oh correction, I just checked and it's being called the "Parade of Lights" damn!! the other one worked so much better

**CPNE** · 11-30-2004, 05:08 PM
