I could stand between the engine and the fender and reach everything.<BR/><BR/>You are going to really enjoy this baby. Have fun and watch your arms get big from steering it. :)Crawfish Piehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08368133150828681124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876214674823177618.post-5449291964957683432008-02-19T18:50:00.000-06:002008-02-19T18:50:00.000-06:00This is the truck that needed the undercarriage wa...This is the truck that needed the undercarriage waxed:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&&item=120206756710&ssPageName=ADME:B:EF:MOTORS:1120" REL="nofollow">55 Chevy Stepside</A>Clayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11905149250548893628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876214674823177618.post-26631968279977458742008-02-18T18:46:00.000-06:002008-02-18T18:46:00.000-06:00Well, it's not going to be a "drive it into the gr...Well, it's not going to be a "drive it into the ground"-work truck. <BR/><BR/>I just mean it's not going to be like one of my coworker's friends trucks. My coworker spent a day putting his friend's truck on a lift and waxing the underbelly of the truck before a show. That will not be my truck.Clayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11905149250548893628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876214674823177618.post-72413353590397197872008-02-17T18:22:00.000-06:002008-02-17T18:22:00.000-06:00Chrome...on a "work" truck.Sigh...Chrome...on a "work" truck.<BR/><BR/>Sigh...Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15434035555693085750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876214674823177618.post-18537787544093265072008-02-17T14:39:00.000-06:002008-02-17T14:39:00.000-06:00Ashley, no, Clay wants chrome ones.

If you put the car into drive and just let it drive (without touching the gas), the car will accelerate, shift to second, accelerate, and shift to third, and then go 30-ish mph without touching the gas pedal. Before, the engine was so beat up, the mis-set idle didn't matter. Now it does.Clayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11905149250548893628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876214674823177618.post-33352352255608019662008-02-16T18:02:00.000-06:002008-02-16T18:02:00.000-06:00You didn't opt for the Gold tone Moroso valve cove...You didn't opt for the Gold tone Moroso valve covers.
