Hot Rods Let's finish the 50 Chevy pickup

It's a tribute to my Hispanic brothers man! @scotty t told me my steering wheel is a Mexican steering wheel, the small diameter makes it easier to drive with handcuffs on!

 

C’mon, being an El Lay resident I know what a handcuff wheel really look’s like.

 

It's been 2 weeks since an update. What's up Lloyd?

 

25 days till we leave for Bowling Green

 

I’m counting down the days!!

 

'Orale

 

All is good, been chasing a rubbing noise, thought it was a tire, so I've burnt up a couple of cutoff wheels making clearance. Yesterday I drove the truck to lunch, and figured out that the driveshaft is hitting the back of the cab lol. I ordered air shocks, I wanted to give it a little rake anyway. So I've gotta clearance that and install the shocks. Ordered a Chinese flavored lokar shifter from Amazon. That's supposed to be here today. I think I'm pretty much good to go. Looking forward to a few days of nostalgia drag racing, that's for sure!!

 

We're gonna gonna have a good time this year

 

Hey is everybody busy today?? If anybody has a minute, I need somebody to make fun of my Amazon shifter. $118. Works awesome. Had shit reviews, but I'm sure it was because it doesn't come with instructions, everybody said it wouldn't fit. I'm fucking satisfied as hell

 

“Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy”

Lloyd, I always have time to give you shit.
So, here’s some shit.
Enjoy!

 

Sorry I forgot lol

 

What a piece of shit!!! LOL!!!
You satisfied now?

 

Ah yes.... that's better! can't wait to see you and your 56 in Bowling Green

 

Looks pretty street roddy. Bet it was bitch to put on with all that space to work.

 

Hey, you got a link to that POS shifter, I'd like to take a closer look to see just how shitty it really is

 

I'm changing that shift knob, gotta drill and resize my other one

 

Here ya go brother

Those are called a mystery shifter. it is a mystery where the gears are !

 

This one has reverse lockout, gate for neutral and drive, and obviously a park lock. Not like those universal B&M units. No it's not a performance shifter, but it's not a race truck, so it's perfect. $118? Seriously? Plus I had a $5 coupon! You cats are really gonna be pissed off about my distributor! $59 with a 5 year warranty. Cheaper than buying a cap, rotor, coil, and ballast resistor for my points distributor

 

I’d run it in a New York minute!

 

And I repeat
“”Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy””

 

Well it runs much better. It's at 14 initial and 36 total at 2800. I put the air shocks on it, took the gas tank straps off and put rubber insulator between the straps and tank, clearanced the cab for the driveshaft, made a trans tunnel, put the distributor in it, and jazzed it up a little. Love it. See you guys in Bowling Green in a little less than a month, get that fucking car out and drive it somewhere!

 

Cut out a nifty panel to cover all of those holes on the passenger side of the firewall. And put a sticker on it from my buddy @scotty t

 

Poser

 

Drove it to work, I like the rake with the air shocks

 

You're brave-x for buying that distributor! Lol, glad you got it running better. The new one I put in the 55 was complete with points, cap and rotor and cost $120.
