Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside BILLYBOB

Fetched the compressor last night in mate Jon's VW T5 van.

What a heavy bit of kit, nearly killed the two of us to get it in the van, so we left it in the van last night and tonight after work Jon and Martin, along with myself got it out using a coupleof sections of pipe and a pait of scaffolding boards.



Too dark for pics in its temporary resting place.

So I just took a few pics of the plates on its various parts.

Seems it was built on 12 November 1973, so 40 years old.



1.5 bhp single phase electric motor



Air filter...... Made in England too.




Name says a lot.




Plans include getting some trolley wheels under it, cleanup and repaint, service.

Then use it for painting the truck and other jobs.
