Have Huck brakes on my 49. About 20 years ago I found a NOS master cylinder at NAPA. I was not having issues with the master but thought I should...
Need a filler cap for a 49 Chev pickup master cylinder. I have found just one online but to ship it Canada the cost is $25 plus coming from a...
Have fun and be safe girls and guys! Wish I was going with you. We do not have road trips in this neck of the woods and very few swap meets,...
Cannot say when I last rode a bus but I’ve ridden the bus at least three times in the last month. I actually enjoy it. Here to town is 15 minutes...
I have two 1956 Chevrolet 3 speed transmissions. These are original and complete. I would rather give them away than scrap them.
On a truck I would keep the fenders and not touch the bed. I like a coupe or a roadster without fenders but often wonder if you could get paint...
About 60 years ago I found a blade bayonet with a sawtooth edge on the top. I was told it was German and because of the sawtooth top edge it was...
Really nice. When I was a kid my dad bought a home built trailer which was really a square box with artillery wheels and a painted canvas roof. It...
Like the diorama!
Indeed they could be related! I have yet to add the Chev name on the tailgate. All of that would give me a new truck! I know of a fellow down by...
You can see my predicament with the pedals. It is a gymnastics trick to get that right leg to the clutch!
You have a good point. I live on the west coast of Canada and there are very few hot rods available here. The ones that are available go for crazy...
The truck has a lot of sentimental value to me. I have had a few heartbreaks but the truck was always there.
I’ve had my truck for 24 years and love it dearly. It is totally stock and now with the major increase in traffic and my advanced senior status I...
I have been considering a change to an automatic as well I have a 235 in my 49 and plan to keep it. I understand there are some GM transmissions...
Going back to the early 60s. Had a small 1/4 mile drag strip and as we didn't yet have drivers licenses we hitch hiked and got picked up in a...
I often wonder how long Hot Rod will last. Seems that 75% of the time it is geared to newer cars and the very expensive speed mods that are...
Thanks for all the tips and hints. Should be fun.
Thanks Boyd. We met a few years back in Victoria during a "cruise" in the rain.
Some good tips, thanks. Renting a car is fine but how is getting around there traffic-wise. Where I live 8 cars constitute a traffic jam!!
Thanks. If this is part of my bucket list i guess I should not worry about the prices.
Going to check off another item from my bucket list and go next June. I'll be flying in and if there is anything special I need to know about...
Been a while since I visited and can't remember if I ever introduced myself. I live in Victoria British Columbia and have a 49 Chevy half ton...
Bonjour a vous Patrick! Une Simca! Alors j'ai pas vu cette voiture dupuis beaucoup des annees!
I have 5000+ miles on my Firestone bias-ply and have not rotated them yet. I think I personally would just go back to front same side.
Haven't figured how to post photos but here is a link to a video of my 49 Chevy. Its basically stock except for a 235". The tires are new 650-16...
I'll be there Saturday. We have a gang coming over from the island on a charter bus. Its a long trip for us.
