Big "Tim" has a Sweet ride! So I just got through looking at the '47~54 gallery of pictures. I guess Big Tim isn't one for blowing his own horn, so I thought I'd let you all know it is worth a trip to the gallery to see what hes been up to~ if you haven't already. He does have a slick looking 6 and some small tires on the back.
Thanks for the compliments Zig, and I understand your excitement. I feel the same way everytime I drive this truck. But I need to make a couple of things clear first .....It's not blown, it has a tunnel ram although I have been kicking around the idea of a blown 6 for some time and last it's Big "Tim" Jamestown as in Jamestown Ca. This has been 1 of those life time projects for me, about 31 years now. I grew up in Modesto Ca. home of American Graffiti and used to cruise in my 54 up and down Mchenery Ave. in the late 70's and early 80's. I can't tell you how many tickets I got, 3 in one night once and boy was my dad pissed....Yeah good times..
Guess I wasn't awake, Tim~ My apologies, Tim! I guess all that yellow and chrome knocked me out. Obviously, without a pulley, that's just an intake manifold and not a "blower". I wish I could also explain how I got Big James out of Big Tim, which it clearly says in your avatar. (I wasn't even hung over!) All this doesn't change the fact that you DO have one SLICK looking ride!
Thanks Zig and no appoligies needed, you are defenately a trend setter, we kept laughing about it here at home and my girlfriend even called me James once.
The Explanation..... Well Paulie ; You do own / like / drive a GMC..... Sorry , I just couldn't resist that cheap shot .
