mattbert56 · 04-28-2019, 12:47 AM

Old seats out. And older in... and a rad seat cover.

mattbert56 · 05-10-2019, 12:46 PM

Anyone around the Washington area? Whatcom county in specific?

mattbert56 · 07-01-2019, 01:32 AM

Well. Got the old truck running u der her own power again. Took the 600 off and found a old
Rochester 2 jet. Fresh tun up and it loves the lack of CFM hah. Feels good driving it again. Plus helps with moving having 2 trucks and all. Picture was befor I rebuilt it. It's now not mounted backwards hah was able to use the old cheesy cable linkage just had to shorten it a skosh. Wish I could fabricate a mechanical linkage. One day I'll get after it.

mattbert56 · 07-04-2019, 10:22 PM

61K10 · 07-05-2019, 03:17 PM

Take care---------------Kimble

mattbert56 · 07-05-2019, 03:37 PM

Thanks man! Yeah winter was a bigger out here too. Not alot of snow. But lots if cold. First winter with a diesel. Not a fan hah. You drivin that truck O yours?

mattbert56 · 06-13-2022, 11:54 AM

Got some new meats on the truck. And some 16s I've been saving for a while. New dizzy and actually got the 292 timed correctly. Just need to tune the 600 edelbrock for elevation. Should be a peach. It's funny how old vehicles keep ya excited when you only work on them semi annually

TJ's Chevy · 06-15-2022, 02:09 AM

Just read through the build and love the truck man! I love seeing the trucks that are modded and used as trucks still.

mattbert56 · 06-05-2023, 12:11 PM

Been using the truck around the property this summer quite a bit. Finally put on a steering wheel from a 65 I belive. I got 10 years back or so for the truck from a buddy. Only took me 10 years and 30 minutes to install it finally. Thought the pickup was lookin good so took some photos.

joesscamaro · 06-07-2023, 03:45 PM

The truck is definitely looking good...thanks for the pictures.

Darkrider · 06-13-2023, 10:47 AM

Finally finished reading this thread from start to finish. Truck looks great man. Did you ever end up putting the NV4500 in or is that still a future project?

61K10 · 06-29-2023, 04:57 PM

still looking good Matt. just ck-ing in again, hope you're doing well. Nothing new here just getting older 74 now. hard to lay under tk now and work on something.

take care my friend-----------kimble

mattbert56 · 12-30-2023, 02:32 PM

Putting the poor thing to work this week. Firewood time. Had a few pines come down in a wind storm last year,thought it was time to remove em. Also scooped up a 90s slide in. Fits my diesel and the 65. Like the look of a classic with a slide in. Hope the holidays has been good for many with projects in the garage like I have looming over me. Hah
