I drug the flatbed off my truck. Now for the chore of putting the pickup bed on it.

Took off the AutoZone special wheel . Picked up a comfort wheel at Ausley's chevelle at their truck in Syracuse. 209$ Complete.

Firewall repainted to fix my scratches and the engine is about ready to go back in.

Does the after market comfort grip feel flimsey like the aftermarket truck wheels? If not I want one because it looks great.

Feels very much like the original factory wood grain two spoke sport wheel on my Chevelle. I like it

That's great, now I need two. One for the truck and one for the El Camino. ...

Towed new project with Tiny truck daily driver

OregonNed · 07-24-2018, 07:09 AM

Changed up my wheel last night

**RodnRudy** · 07-24-2018, 07:04 PM

I finally got off my duff and stated getting the 68 ready for the trip to the Nats next weekend. Changed the oil&filter,installed a new speedo cable and took some play out of the shifter linkage.

jojo-munson · 07-25-2018, 08:07 PM

Hopefully finished the last major job in the engine bay for a while, swapped out the old quadrajet for an Edlebrock AVS2. Can't see it in the picture, but the new air cleaner looks nice anyways haha. Pic of the engine when I first got it included for reference.

Installed a new fuel pump.... My truck started missing and stumbling amd backfiring at 50/60 mph.. A good buddy suggested it could be the fuel pump. I always thought a fuel pump worked or didn't work but i now know that isnt always the case. The truck has 89000 miles and I think it still had the original fuel pump so today I had a new one installed and it cured the stumbling/missing and the truck is more responsive.

PepperTreeGarage · 07-25-2018, 09:26 PM

Rebuilt and dropped the front end on the '72 C20 Shop Truck~~~~~

I bought one at Walmart on sale with a crushed box and I never put it on, but then again I've never washed my truck.

66clow · 07-31-2018, 10:38 PM

Hauled the bug home from getting the electricals fixed. It now has lights. Once I finish the interior and flip it, time to get the body work done on the truck to paint it.

NoStopN · 08-02-2018, 07:34 PM

I knocked off all but one old mount from the flatbed. The last one is welded in multiple places & I need to buy a cutoff wheel.
