YouTube - 1951 Chevy Truck_ Test drive.wmv

May 7th weekend. Finally some sunshine physically and mentally. Worked out some quirks with the engine. Holding pretty good vacuum, starts right up, idles good. I actually took it for a drive farther down the road, but didn't have enough memory on my camera to film it. But it drive awesome so far. I didn't really get on it cause of the dirt roads and I didn't want to ding up my radiator. Next weekend I'll have the front clip back on and heading to the inspection station monday if all goes well.

I also replaced a break line that was leaking, hooked up my powersteering pump, which is what is squeeking so bad, I know it is low on fluid so I am hoping that is the problem cause the truck turns so easily. Started staining the wood for the bed. I'll be making some hinging mechanism for it at some point down the road, also got to clear coat it still. Hooked up my whippers to the manifold vacuum, they kinda work but kinda not. Anyone having any luck with theirs? I got to read into it more, it seems like the pass side whipper will go up but the driver one is sticking.

Thanks for the comments fellas, hopefully I get on the road with minimal problems and can start going places with it.
