Re: Farmers big block

Looks good Keith, how do you keep it so clean underneath? Looking forward to the new bed wood, although the existing bed wood is beautiful. Maybe you need another project.

Thanks she only sees good weather drives and having a lift makes it easier to keep her bottom clean.
How's your truck working out any upgrades.

Re: Farmers big block

No upgrades really, but have been driving it quite a bit, and have ran a few tanks of fuel through it. We have had the mildest winter ever up here. As for yours, that is the cleanest farm truck I have ever seen. Don't you have any dirt on your farm? Have you had any thoughts about a second project? Looks to me like your truck is pretty much done and you keep working on it. Maybe a 47-54 five window would be cool. Just thinking out loud.

I would like to do a 42-46 chevy truck. I'm doing some research on BMW M5
engines. There a straight 6 engine that put out some good power. A friend of mine is going to bring his over so I can check it out.
I think that m5 engine with a 6 speed add a turbo in a old truck would be different.

Re: Farmers big block

Looks good Keith! Hoping to drive my 64 GMC up to Troutdale this Summer, and may try and stop in Portland as well. I'll let ya know. Truck is looking great! I'm gonna have to invest in a lift so I can polish the frame on my 66 when it's done. lol

Re: Farmers big block

Mixing German engineering with American engineering? Hmmm. That would be different. A transplant like that might give the truck a rash and try to reject it. Not sure what the patriots down there would have to say about that either. They lost a couple wars you know.
