Heat problem I have a '59 1/2 ton Chevy. Installed a rebuilt 350. Put a desert cooler radiator in it, it looks like the original and bolts in the same as the original. Used an electric fan almost as big as the radiator. The thermostat is 160 degree. It runs at the 160 degree mark except...

Lokar Lokar makes top of the line stuff. My tranny shifter is a Lokar, works better than advertised. And you are right, their products cost more than others but if ya can afford it, buy it, you will not be disappointed.

Linkage I used a cable set-up to replace the original. It came from Auto Zone. I replaced the old gas pedal with a new set-up made for hotrods and it came from a local swap meet. Works good. You can see a picture that shows some of it, go to photos and look under 58pache and at the one that...

When I built my truck I put a rebuilt 350 in it with a rebuilt 350 turbo tranny with a shift kit. Everything in the engine was replaced, only kept the block, put a Comp Cam in it and that is still drivable on the street without any problems. One problem I had is with the tranny, when you stop at...

Cute She is the cutest little girl I have ever seen. I understand why you are doing everything in your power to see she has a great life. I do not have any grandchildren and there will not be any but if there was I would like to think I would do for her/him what you are doing. Keep on truckin'

Grandkid She looks like she is having a real good time. Gotta be nice when the most important thing is finding colored eggs. Then you grow up and get stepped on by the real world. I am glad to see her having fun. Are you gonna give her your truck when she gets her drivers license? That day...

No Candy No chocolate rabbits here either. Nice and quiet weekend. Truck never left the garage. The quiet changed this morning (Monday). A tree service is just up the road trimming trees, chain saws and people yelling over the noise. And they have a large chipper. I did mow the yard...

black and yellow Black and yellow always look good together, add some red or orange and it enhances the colors. Took a couple of art classes in high school a long time ago. George was in one class, his last name was Washington, he started ROTC in our school and he hated red uniforms and British...

Inside of door paint scheme Here are some pics of the inside, Nate. 1st one, this scheme is a lot like the one on the tail gate. 2nd one, truck came without a seat, these are from a 2004 Dodge Dakota with the center console, I had to build brackets to raise them a couple of inches to the...

car for sale I don't know what that light colored car for sale is. I did hear someone ask the owner about it but since I wasn't interested in buying it I did not pay much attention. I might see it again and I will ask about it. The owner is a regular at local shows. He has other cars. My...

weather We have set some new low temperatures this winter, it has been unusually cold. But it is nothing like what the north is getting. Guess thats why it is called the frozen north. Right now it is sunny and near 80 degrees and I am keeping it all to myself. Great day to run Daytona but they...

One more time This is the last pics of the show. The Chevy truck has a big block with a blower. It was really loud. Makes me wonder how many traffic tickets he gets per mile. It was a good day to be outside, I see by the weather channel that some of you haven't been getting good weather lately...
