Beautiful truck. They do make great daily drivers in nice weather. I drive my 49 as often as possible.
Thank you so much. I have a couple small things to deal with...still wanders a bit on rough roads. If the road is decent, its absolutely new car smooth as butter. Brakes are great. I did tighten ball and sockets on all tie rods, etc...so steering is jam up...but, the steering gear box needs a slight adjustment...just enough to tighten up about 1/8 turn of slop. I also may try a 15 weight shock oil. I'm having westach make me a custom tach to match the factory gauges and will mount on the column. A necessary item in my book. Also, need to install a speedo calibrator. Other than that, get the 302 built.
I actually wanna get the incorrect Rochester B off and put the proper Zenith back on it. I need the 11442 with 32mm venturi. Not having much luck. A couple other ideas...a Carter AFB or grab a Mikuni or Keihin CV carb off my shelf, make an adapter, and bolt one of those on. The B is just too small. She pops occasionally and sucks the fuel. If anyone has a Zenith or other suggestions I'm all ears. Still toying with the EFI idea too. That would be the cats meow really. Bit strange as it may sound, I enjoy using a chole amd throttle knob.
