Re: 51 Chevy 1/2 ton, My S10 swap
Well,
Back from a short vacation, so time to think about the truck again.
I had another first on Saturday...ran out of gas (on the way to gas station). At least I was only 2 blocks from home. Will now certainly install my gas gauge sooner rather than later!!
After putting a few miles on (10-15) I have re-evaluated a few things. I need some door seals!! The rattling drives me crazy going down the road!! Also, the Altman bear claw style latches will need to be a priority. Just driving around a little I can see the door latches loosening up. No surprise door openings yet, but the new latches will need to be bought soon!
Having a trans hump instead of a 12 X 20 hole in the floor really cuts down on road noise and engine fumes.
Hoping to take the steering column apart on Saturday and fix the turn signals. If I get them working I may go to a cruise in Saturday night. I just don't like driving very far without signals!
