I went to a local all GM truck show yesterday. Imagine what I took pics of most.

There's one oddity in there that is worth a closer look...

Appears somebody dressed up a late model, single cab chevy truck in 67/68 sheet metal...

Yup, that roof line stood out! "Smooth" is the one-word that came to mind if I had to describe it... :mm:

That's what they did. He posted the truck a few days ago on FB to a closed group & said he would be going.

So it's a nice 21C in the shop, outside is 32C and 40 with humidity. Gotta love A/C. A good day to get the block honed for the new rings and I honed the lifter holes because of scrapes from the bad lifters.

Putzed around a bit. Greased the clutch linkage...it was getting pretty bad. Then put in new plugs and wires.

Fixed my exhaust leak! Replacement exhaust manifold didn't quite match up with the pipe, so I had to get aggressive with it. But now I can drive without fear of passing out at the wheel!

Upgrading the factory breather from 2bbl 380cfm to 4bbl 600cfm+ but still looks good.

Very nice!

I have been looking for a horn for my offset air cleaner, but cannot find one.

Thanks it is hard to find them, I was lucky enough to have a good friend out in Edmonton, AB. Cunuckvetter and he took one off an old factory 2bbl. It keeps my look.

I took my smoker to the cottage so I have no distractions. I gotta get the truck running. I did get all the frost plugs in, all the pistons cleaned and re-ringed. One good final block cleaning tomorrow and fill it with parts.

My knob on the column shift was missing so I made a new one . Grabbed a piece of black walnut from the wood pile . Cut a hunk out and shaped it up.

Looks great but now you're going to have to add walnut accents to the whole interior. :lol:

There might be a market for custom wood knobs? When I did my 38 I didn't like the little knob that came with the car (floor shift) so I wound up using the clear plastic knob off of the shower I took out. Of course I used the cold knob with the C for Chevy. Have a good one.
