    As stupid as it sounds, there actually were air operated windshild wipers on big trucks long ago.

    Ehh~hemmm!

    We don't need no stinkin' vowels to spell OUR truck's name!


    It's what all Chevy owners are left saying after the manly G rolls by.


    G! :cool:

    Wolf,

    I thought you already had your exhaust vented to cabin, so it should be easy to hook up your wipers. You've had enough Monoxide already. When you think of it, therein lies the problem. On a "G", Positive is really a Negative and if you listen to these guys a Negative is a Positive! My hearing is bad, did you say your Bowels were Stinkin'?

    Flashlight, I couldn't agree with you more! So when you guys give us GMC guys a hard time you do it because you secretly are in LOVE with our trucks;) i totally understand! I would be to if I had an oil slapper:)

    BBAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Wolf, it looks like you're takin' a whoopin' here. Just think what it would be like to have been born a chivy lover. Ya got a nice little chivy sedan, and you get blown outta the water by an Oldsmobile. Then a Caddy. Then even a Buick. And there you are, a lowly little chivy guy. So you go home and get in yur Chivy pickup; gonna haul your sorrow down to the local pub and try to feel like a real man. What happens...you get mowed over by a distinctive GMC with a dignified grill, and pokie little round parking lights up front...no ugly rectangles hidden behind a clown grill. You hear that full pressure 228 purring, and see that flashy streamlined jet fighter hood ornament pointing the way down the road. It's really got to cause some psychological damage. Kind of the same way that ford guys had to change the station every time they heard "Hot Rod Lincoln" playin' on the radio...

    The beating isn't too bad, cuz when I look down at my stock oil gauge on my stock truck fully warmed up going 40 mph, i see a nice high 35+PSI. How many chevy guys can say that;)

    Those Rabbit pounders:) might get 5, I like my extra 2? main caps too:)

    Its all in good fun!! I just love pulling up to a stop light and having people ask me if my truck is stock! and how in the heck it can haul that much in the bed! That fun!

    Um ;

    216's usually have over 10 # road speeds , 235's will peg the gauge at road speed so it's all the same apart from you having that loverly L O N G Motor :rolleyes: .
