Well guys, Installed everything today...and aside from a few vacuum leaks to fix...Man..I say MAN did opening the plenum make an improvement!!! Sheesh! Has a couple leaks around the intake manifold gaskets so new ones will be here Tuesday.

Also has a tiny one between the adapter and manifold. So Wednesday I'm planning on installing the new gaskets and re-sealing it all up. Should run like a champ then! Idling a bit rough and back fires a tad when slowing down which is what it never did before. So, that all should be remedied soon I hope! Later guys! Hope ya'all had a great weekend! Will be making a video soon.

For a young man your age you already have the 6's down patt! You remind of myself at your age. It's funny if you are interested in something, all the info remains in your head for some reason lol. Great info TJ--nice work.

Kimble

Thanks Kimble! Yeah, straight 6's and the GMC V6's have had my interest for awhile. Mainly because you don't see them to often and because you can do mods that require fabrication rather than just purchasing stuff from Summit. Love fabricating; so making my own 4 barrel intake was a blast.

**TJ's Chevy** · 05-31-2016, 12:10 AM

Well we have a running and driving video finally! Unfortunately I couldn't do a good acceleration test because I was holding the camera. Much easier to have someone else holding it while driving. lol But it's way better than stock no the less. She tows better to! hauled a fairly heavy load of wood Saturday and she done good! Later guys!

Hey brotha, You mind doing Bomp's video trick for me? lol Or re-sending me the how to? I'm still cornfused. haha!

Well Crustine did another job well done this morning! Hauled a couple loads of fire wood...load on bed and trailer. That 305 V6 pulled with ease. Can't believe people complain about these! And if ya take some time and do a 4 barrel mod and dual exhaust things get even better!

ChrisDollins · 06-04-2016, 05:53 PM

Love seeing the old trucks put to work! Intake mod is really cool!

Good Job TJ...

62stepside longbox · 06-04-2016, 09:44 PM

It's really cool that these trucks are 50 years old and still being used for work. Nowadays vehicles will be lucky if they last 15-20 years

Heck yeah buddy! Back in the day when America was America and not the half crap nation it is today.

**TJ's Chevy** · 06-12-2016, 12:40 AM

Well today after work I came home and changed crustine's oil. 15w-40 rotella and a fresh napa filter. Gonna head over there and get some zinc stuff for her. Also pulled the gauge cluster and lubed the speedo cable...works much better now!

Having issues with my gauge lights that come on when you turn the head light switch on and turn it so far....One of them is not coming on. Could be the bulb, but I'm sure it was working fine. lol Basically One side was working and now the other side isn't. Those bulbs are probably as old as the ol gal is so it's time for some new ones anyhow. Also, I picked up a new front brake hose as I am in danger of no brakes if I don't replace the old front one soon. haha! Yes I was hauling that load of lumber with a brake hose about ready to blow!

I'm nuts. Crustine also needs a new brake booster and master cylinder. They work, but the brakes are touchy and the RPM's of the motor pick up almost 400 rpm when I hit the breaks hard. And last but not least Crustine needs a new steering box and tie rods. Her steering was perfect for the longest time, but after a faulty tire wobbled really bad around a turn the steering has been bad since. So I have a huge list of things to cover, but they will happen a little at a time as the 66 takes priority! And LAST thing!!!!!!

I scored some 16 inch rims!!!!

And so a new set of 32 inch 10 ply tires will be on Crustine real soon. Found a good looking set through ATD. Here's a link to what they look like. Later guys!

**TJ's Chevy** · 06-15-2016, 09:48 PM

New tires came in today for Crustine! 235/85R-16's 10 ply Load range E. And here are the "new" rims! Also a picture I snapped of Crustine cooling off from a little road trip. Excited to take her to the show next weekend!

Thanks guyz! I accidentally backed Crustine into a small ditch and she pulled right out with ease! haha With the old tires I would have had to grab the tractor! Plus I got a little bump in speed.

**TJ's Chevy** · 06-17-2016, 04:32 PM

Well Crustine's smirk was fixed today.
