    I posted an intro a while back with my Chevy truck. I have not done much to it but since I am pimping a carb on the classifieds I thought it would be proper to give at least a little to main forum.

    The truck came to me via another Hamb member and was really clean when I got it.

    Two inch lowering springs where installed in the rear just after this shot was taken. While I like to do most of the stuff on my motorcycles I don't have a lift and didn't want to mess with the springs so I paid my local shop to do it.

    The motor is a 350 with a turbo transmission. I collected a couple of cast bits to play dress up. Once the water pump crapped out I figured it was time to spruce things up a bit.

    Here is how it looked:

    I pulled a buch of stuff off and got busy with the gunk and rattle cans:

    I put some cal custom valve covers and some ebay cast air cleaner on as well as the usual belts, hoses, etc.....

    I am pleased with how it turned out. The bonus is I fixed a vacuum leak and now the quadrajet works perfect so I didn't need to Edelbrock I was going to put on it.

    Final photos:

    Well, you get the idea. Nothing earth shattering by any means. I plan on doing the interior next.

    Here is a shot with my panhead and sportster:

    Nice truck, love those knee-knocker cabs. Bonus it's a short fleet!

    Looks nice. I'd like to get a truck like this someday.

    How about some pictures of the front?

    Jalopy Joker, whats wrong with the size of the pictures? They look good to me.
