HAHA, No...Probably won't for awhile. Since I daily drive this truck the heating and cooling of the engine during the winter months creates a lot of moisture. These would probably rust in a heart beat. Probably will put them on for the shows during the spring, summer, and fall next year. I like the painted ones because I can do a quick wipe down with a towel and good to go. lol Thanks for checking in.

**TJ's Chevy** · 01-04-2017, 01:08 AM

Well we sure got some Snow here! Bout 2 feet worth! And Crustine is one fun truck to drive with one wheel peel. haha Load of snow sure helped, but she don't like very deep snow at all!

What's your mileage been? My POS with the mild 350 has been getting around 12 recently. Hoping the carb swap I did today will help...although I've also been driving kind of agressively and running 70+ pretty frequently with 4.10 gears and no OD...lol

I get 10 in town, lotta stopping and going. When cruising I get around 12-13. I never push the v6 past 2400 rpm when cruising so I'm stuck around 53 mph. With an OD the mileage would be better.

**TJ's Chevy** · 05-10-2017, 03:52 PM

Hey guys! Well I haven't done a thing to Crustine accept drive her 7 days a week and keep things cleaned and maintained.

Little update though, a member here (Ryan Smith) had the original 305D from his 62 GMC sitting around and he asked me if I wanted it. Well, next thing I know he's here dropping it off. Complete motor that ran and was Free! Even delivered!

Thanks again Ryan!

Pictures, do have some plans for this engine. Thinking turbo in the future.

haha Yeah, Crustine is a driver for now...after the 66 is done she may be in for a restore. Not sure what'll happen. Have tons of idears kickin around though.

Hi. I happy the engine went to a good home where it will be loved. I can't wait to see what you end up doing with her.

I know you're always on the look out for a bigger six, I saw this one for sale and thought of crustine, too bad it's all the way in Missouri!

Hi guys! Well Crustine's 600 cfm eddy was really not taking the Oregon heat very well. Flat spots off idle, nasal leakage, loading up.....so I figured it was time for a little down grade. Purchased a 500 cfm eddy and a fuel regulator. Those carter pumps are just to much for these carbs. haha Anyhow, runs better now and no more flooding out. Set the regulator to 5.5 psi hot and it seems good. Need to jet down a bit more, but much better than before.

Bomp · 07-08-2017, 02:46 PM

Win.
Always better when things run smoother.

Crustine has been an awesome daily driver since the 1st day.

She's always thirsty, but it's worth the fun, smiles, and conversations.

Shot of her warming up this morning and after a long over due bath.

Might be painting another set of valve covers so the engine has dual breathers and an old school pcv setup.

66Submarine · 01-02-2018, 09:36 PM

Looks good, glad to hear it.

duallyjams · 01-03-2018, 11:49 AM

I see someone who really enjoys driving there truck.

Yup!

**TJ's Chevy** · 04-20-2018, 12:29 AM

With my new job now being 30 miles one way and 10 hour days Crustine is now an evening/weekend driver. After 2 years of daily driving it was WELL over due to change out the seat cover. One given to me as a gift served time in my 66 and then in this truck. Was torn up so bad it was embarrassing to have it On there. SO...today a very nicely made cover showed up that fits much better and in my opinion looks much better.

**Palf70Step** · 04-20-2018, 07:33 AM

Looks good.
