Re: 1954 Chevy / S10

When we had no money and young kids a group of about half a dozen families formed a babysitting co-op. Every week one of the families was designated as the place to drop your kids on Saturday afternoon if you wanted to. It worked out great. We knew every six weeks we would have a house full of kids, sometimes for the evening, sometimes overnight. We always had lots of games, activities, etc. for them to do. This was in the 70's before laser disc's, vhs and dvd's, but kids expectations were different and we were just a bunch of hippies who let them run wild anyway. Tempe had lots of parks and we only lived a couple of block off campus which afforded lots of opportunity for exploration too. Over the three years we did not injure or loose one kid!

Re: 1954 Chevy / S10

OrrieG, We do this every once and a while. Our friends aren't for PA so they have no family here and we will trade off, but only for a couple hours. Everybody is soo busy these days, my parents and her parents will not watch all 3 at a time. My kids are good its just too much for them. Did order a pedal , booster an master cyclinder today. I will mount that next week.

Re: 1954 Chevy / S10

Got the brake pedal assembly today and it was real nice. It was really a good price. Whole thing (pedal, 7" dual booster, master cylinder and residual valves) was $211 shipped! It was from Pirate Jacks. I welded the other side of the tranny mount and started to figure out how to mount the pedal assembly. It was to fit an original frame and not an s10. Nothing a welder and some steel can't fix! Headers should hopefully be coming soon. Here are some pictures.
