One week cold, one week warm. Oh that wacky weather in Houston, TX!!! I picked up a 1957 chevy 3100 back in July I believe. Since then I have sanded down the rear chassis and painted over with por 15 up to the rear cab, flushed and replaced rear end gear oil, replaced all wheel cylinders, all new brake lines, new duel master cylinder, adjusted all brakes, replaced a rear axle seal, changed both front wheel bearings, new headlights , new parking lights, new taillights, polished fender and good badges, new glass bowl fuel filter right before the carb, reassembled the bed and installed a 3/4 treated plywood bed floor, and took out busted rear window. Since the beginning of our weird winter I've taken apart the whole front of the truck scraped all the firewall insulation off the inside, taken down the heater, started some rust removal inside the cab; my main focus is cleanin the engine. It is full of gunk. Dirt, oil, grime, and whatever else 50+ years of farm use will add into the engine bay. So far I've gotten one side done, working on the other side this week. Also I have sanded down the alive cover and am working on removing the rust off it. I also rebuilt the rochester carb and currently waiting on a big shipment of hoses, gaskets, battery tray, etc from LMC so I can put her back together. I really hope it starts back up!
