Well, I'm in need of a Spare tire carrier for the short box. If any one knows or has one for sale please let me know. Been raining here the past few days and gettin colder so haven't done much on the rig. Thanks. T.J.

**TJ's Chevy** · 09-28-2013, 07:23 PM

Moved 4 loads of sifted dirt.

**pdxhall** · 09-28-2013, 09:32 PM

The truck looks great. I like your mod to use the lokar gas pedal. I have been wondering about that and now that I've seen yours I just might go for it.

NEWFISHER · 09-28-2013, 09:43 PM

The truck is looking good. There are a bunch of early trucks scattered around cave junction and obrien. You are in parts truck heaven.

Thanks! Only seen a few around. Maybe I should hunt a little harder. Problem is no-one wants to sell them! I've seen 4 trucks sit for eight years and the owner says "One day I'll restore it". Then when he decides he's not going to he says "5,000 for it, can't find many of these! It's a classic". Drives me nuts why people think something is worth its weight in gold when it scrap metal!

Anyway thanks for the compliments! T.J.

nice man gotta love how much power these trucks have in the working and off road department. I actually worked some tonight on getting some different tires on the rear of the 64 on the org rims they are the same as the front the 31's are getting old.

Yeah! I need a bumper sticker that say's "Farm Truck. Over loaded and under powered"! Wait a minute...Chevys are never under powered!

Dillon Rock · 09-29-2013, 03:15 PM

Lookin Good there T.J., from that angle, the truck has a good stance to it almost that of a sleeper.

Thanks, I was surprised it did not sink to bad. Hauled those load just fine though. It's truly an ol farm truck!

**TJ's Chevy** · 10-03-2013, 12:23 AM

Bump. So what's a good cool weather weekend project on these? Besides driving it! having a blast, but tired of boring everybody around here with no progress. Just as a warning there might not be much tell next summer when work gets better and I can start painting! And time!

FatFenderGarage · 10-09-2013, 12:17 AM

Nice project. I think these are great trucks. I would like to work on one of these. Just trying to find the right one. Keep up the progress.

**TJ's Chevy** · 10-19-2013, 11:34 AM

Well I've been just driving it lately. Kinda on a stand still right now. Gonna paint my oil breather today!

Of course....Pictures will follow!

**TJ's Chevy** · 10-20-2013, 06:31 PM

Well here's a picture of the stakes....definitely a farm truck!

**TJ's Chevy** · 10-20-2013, 06:32 PM

Other side.....

**TJ's Chevy** · 10-20-2013, 06:34 PM

here's a picture of the 292, were the exhaust tubing is routed.

C@rnut001 · 10-20-2013, 08:55 PM

Thanks ya'all! Really appreciate the comments!

**TJ's Chevy** · 11-03-2013, 05:52 PM

Well my BRAND NEW 600 cfm Edelbrock started seeping fuel from the accelerator pump and through the gasket. So I am going to do an exchange and hope the new carb doesn't leak. Darn shame when you buy a new carb and barely put 30 miles on it and it starts leaking! Guess it is a sign of the times....I'll post updates when I put the new carb on and see what happens!

KroAutomotiveInc · 11-03-2013, 06:24 PM

DAM that sucks i feel ya the first 2bbl carb i got for the 230 had striped out threads in the inlet line for the fuel and start spewing gas everywhere when i fired it up.
