Title: My daily driver
Post by: kartjockey on January 22, 2012, 08:29:22 AM
I'm a bit of a photo buff and shot this with black and white film to give a nostalgic look. 1949 Chevy Model 3600. Just celebrated 25 years behind the wheel by installing a Chevy made original deluxe heater with defrost. What a wonderful option!

Sounds like a nice rig.  I had a '49 w/ the long bed (ton rating) a long time ago.  Got it in a trade.  When I was driving it home, it started running really bad & actually quit.  Turned out that the rocker arms were so worn & clattered so much that the guy had tightened the valves up so tight (so he could sell it) that after the engine warmed up there was no clearance & the valves were being held open.  I had to re-do the whole top end to fix it right.
