After almost a year of working on her, the '57 chevy in the signature link below has been my daily driver for the past month. I can't describe how much satisfaction I've gotten out of driving this old truck- and I look forward to driving it every day! The longer I drive her, the less I want to change her- I really enjoy driving this truck in it's current state- the lack of power steering and brakes- I don't even want to paint anything anymore. The way she is is the way I want her, with 2 key exceptions:
First, is there any way to improve the air quality in the cab? I know I need to get the vent cables lubed up and moving again, since they're not right now- But I do get quite a bit of exhaust when idling.
Second- Any suggestions on rear suspension?- I'm riding low in back with a steel plate on worn springs- and am considering everything from airbags to air shocks or coilovers, whatever will work so I can haul some heavy stuff.
Thanks-
