Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Interesting to watch the truck's progression through the entire thread. At some point however, it stopped being a real "old truck" and started being a sophisticated high-tech machine in the guise of an old truck. Whether that's good or bad is subject to one's personal philosophy - heck, I'm not even sure myself. Sitting on an S10 chassis, my own truck is a bit of a fake.

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Summer flew by.....kids go back to school next week. WOW.
I took a break from the truck and tried to enjoy the summer. Had a great summer vacation to Idaho. ![]() Drug the truck out of the garage last night and went for a spin. Instant smile on my face. Took it to work today, which is about 10 miles from town. Good times. Still a ton of stuff on the punch list, but will just keep pluggin away!! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Yes. Have been since the teenage BMX years. I try to do 3-4 mountain bike races a year and ride at least once a week regardless.

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Really good priorities Coach! Kids grow up and leave home before you know what happened.
The Idaho pictures were incredible...such beautiful scenery. Truck is looking good.. |

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Coach
Check out "St. Maries" in the Idaho pan handle. Great town. You haven't lived until you have been broke down on a motorcycle road trip for three days waiting for parts in St Maries. Good memories As soon as the last leaves the nest, it's the loudest quite you have ever heard. Keep on keepin on Nut Case ![]()

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Good times for everyone. Nothing is more important than family. Idaho looks beautiful. The picture of the lake reminds me of northern Ontario.

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
Wow Mike. I want to thank you. I have spent this weekend reading your threads and have enjoyed it all. It has been quite a trip building up that truck, each time. I know it was not without it's rough spots but you worked them out just fine with trial and error and with good advice from fellow members here and all. One has to wonder when you find time to sleep with all that you have been doing.
If I may offer a suggestion. The next time the engine shuts off with no fuel pressure remove the gas cap and listen for a whoosh sound. It might be it just needs a vented gas cap. Congrats on the truck and enjoy the ride.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I drilled a hole in the back side of the spring cup and ran the air line out. I drilled the hole big enough to sleeve the air line with rubber hose to make sure it was protected from any abrasion. Hope this helps. Good luck. |

Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver
He's looking great!
Personally, I like that you took the bumper guards off. It's a cleaner look. Seems like you took steel wool or polish to the grill and bumper(?) anyway, he looks really nice. Congrats!
