Merry Christmas to my Chevy Truck family.

Just a quick update, the truck is running great, put about 1200 miles (not that much) on it this summer and not 1 problem. The only 'work' I can remember is changing the oil, adding air to the tires, and adding 2 drink holders. Oh, and I wiped it down with WD-40 twice.

This truck is meeting/exceeding all my hopes, it drives easy, runs smooth, is comfortable, reliable and I will take it anywhere, anytime.

Once again it is in the driveway with Santa for the season (and a new Elf), but will be back in the garage in January.

Hope everyone is enjoying their trucks, and I look forward to following your builds and seeing your ideas in 2024

Here are some pics from 2023

Cheers,

Looking great. I am in about the same boat. About 1500 miles. Honestly its my favorite to drive because it drives so nicely. I have actually been thinking about doing that poppys patina coating. I will say nothing rubs off on it now and I do run it through the local self brush car wash every once in while. They laugh when I pull up but it comes out sparkling.

ok, I checked into the wd40 rumour and found it is a myth. here is a link from the wd40 site.

Thanks dsraven and 28Tudor

I wipe down the tires, wheels and keep them clean, but only wipe down the body with a damp rag when it gets dusty. I'm not sure about 'Poppys patina' coating as I dont want the surface to be sticky. Glad to hear you are enjoying your truck, as I just love looking out through that split window. (see pic)

dsraven, I heard the same thing about WD-40, so thanks for busting that myth. I also heard that Brake Cleaner will be banned? yes? no?
