Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I bit the bullet and cut and drilled the holes for the brake booster. I was going to use a hydro boost but i have a couple vacumn boosters laying around so .......... It will look cleaner any way.

Picked up this little guy at HF for the ATF/Acetone rust solution. Not bad for two-niny-nine.

I spent a couple of hours driving and logging data last night. Hope to burn another chip this weekend. I'm already liking the new computer.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Yes, used the chevy rims to get bigger off road tires for rock and trail crawling in the Southwest (went to school in AZ, met my wife in ElPaso). Here is a before, after and engine shot. Traded a mint 64 bug body for the van, kept my engine. It was a 1200 with all the goodies, Norris Cam, aluminum pulley, 010 mechanical dist, headers, oil cooler, Holley 2 barrel carb. had Porsche chrome front wheels.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Orrie G,
Competition Motors is where James Dean bought his Porsche 550 Spyder. Your pic looks like it's from the San Diego dealership, not the Hollywood dealership, however. CM was THE Porsche distributor on the west coast. |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Spent $60 of my truck parts money on a transmission for the lawn mower. ARRRGGGHHHHH. Cheap Chinese s*** that will probably be replaced by the same stuff. Told the wife no more burnouts!
