Dear Members:
My name is Jimmi Varano, I just bought a 1954 5 window deluxe cab 3100 Chevy Truck. I have named her Jaunita...
I live in the Bay Area and found her in the LA area. I saw her on Craigs list and fell in love. I called the guy and asked a million questions..he wasn't very helpful due to the fact he rarely drove her and he wasn't a gearhead.......Neither am I...I come from Harley stock, as a matter of fact I had to sell one of my bikes to get the truck as not to cause another Bill. It was ok the bike I sold I hardly ever rode...due to it being in a rigid frame and me now being over 50...
I brought the car home on a trailer,lost a hubcap on the way,tried to start her up..wouldn't start...come to find out that if you don't have the wiper hose connected it causes a vacuum leak. AFTER finding that and fixing it, she fired right up.
Took her on a little ride to the corner gas station for fuel..gauge doesn't work...HMMM. The steering is very loose, Brakes fair...fun as hell to drive. Got thumbs up already..
Anyway folks, Just wanted to say hello. I have already posted a question on the electrical forum...and I have a ba-zillion more to post ( Isn't this fun )...
I have some picks of Jaunita on Photobucket
