It’s a Runner! (again!)
Justin helped me finally get the truck going, but something just wasn’t right. After a quick maiden voyage to Livermore, Pete diagnoses the problem as a miss and invites me over to fix the issue. Here we are at Pete’s place with the truck in the driveway. I think we just figured out which cylinder it was and remedied the situation. I learned a lot today. Thanks a ton Pete!! After...
My Truck and the 307 Fiasco
My truck had been engine-less for several months. The 350 that was in it failed. Not spectacularly like my small block Chevys usually do, but it still failed. More details below… I’d had a few prospects for replacement, but they didn’t work out because I was a cheap bastard, or they would sell quicker than I could get to them, or some other reason. A couple weeks ago...
My 1957 Chevy 3100 Pickup Truck
7.13.08 I’ve put 7000 miles on this heap since I got it running a while ago. It’s my daily driver, and was knocking out 17 MPG @ 70 MPH on the freeway the last time I checked, with no vacuum advance or thermostat! I’ve since put an another distributor in it, with a vacuum advance, so hopefully it’s picked up a little bit! The red door is a nice one Jake gave me....
Totally Loaded!!
Just another scrap metal run! Had to grab a picture, I think I had a ton (literally!) in the back of the truck, and it was low-riding! Read More →
Another Trip to the Coast
Drove it to the coast again, this time to pick up a 1931 Ford Model A Roadster cowl. It was a great day for a drive! Read More →
Roadtrip to the Coast!
Greg and I headed to the Moss Beach to pick up a pair of 15×8.5 slotted mags, and I had to stop a couple times along the way to snap a few pictures. This first picture when I pulled over on Highway 92 (or was it 35?) is kind of freaky, because there appears to being someone or something watchin us from between the trees. Not really because I’m afraid of ghosts, but I just took...
Spin Out on the Freeway!
Fourth of July, 2007! So it’s almost fireworks time, I get in my truck to go over to a buddy’s place to watch the festivities. I’m tooling down freeway doing about 70, and I get a funny vibration, and then the whole truck (’57 Chevy) goes sideways, which then starts spinning. I end up sliding off the road into the ditch between Vasco and First St. When I left the...

First Long Haul Trip!
Drove it out to the Turlock Swap Meet! First time I took it out so far from home, just testing the road manners. It did great! Not so great was the ticket I got for parking too close to the railroad tracks! Read More →
