The odometer just hit 22,00 miles and still turning heads with my 46 Chevy. Time to get to work on my 40 GMC. For those that didn't see the progress pictures, have a look here

I have changed the gears to 373 and installed a Detroit locker. The truck really hooks up now. When the weather gets a little nicer I will buy some new rims for summer and keep the old ones for winter driving.

Just the other day I was thinking that we haven't heard from sublime in a while.
Love the truck and good to have you around again!

Welcome back Stu! Glad your 4t6 is working great. I just joined the Bolt as you were posting your pics and enjoyed following your progress and remember waiting to see your next progess report. Made a lot of progress on mine since then but nowhere near finishing. Thanks again

Thanks for the comments. Haven't been around much, to much work and lots of cruising when I am not working My truck is a daily driver and half the people are glad to see you using your truck, and the other half think your nuts to drive it to work. I sprayed the bottom of the cab and underneath exposed parts with lineX bed liner so I could drive her in the winter. Very happy with the product. Chev4t6 thanks, just keep plugging away and you will get her done.

Love the color, reminds me of 57 chevy copper. What was with the propane tank on the "break in" picture?

I second that. I rarely look at a truck and say "WOW - what a cool color!"

Big Chevy
The first engine was set up for propane, long story short. the guy that rebuilt the engine screwed up the heads 4 times so i went with a Chevy crate engine.
The color is a custom mix base with a orange glow top color from ppg radiance line. 15 coats including the 3 coats of clear. In certain lights it looks like it is 4 different colors

GREAT looking truck! You have a lot to be proud of.


Always get a 2nd opinion, especially if I am the source of the 1st opinion.

Sublime,
I really like the truck. The box you made for it is what I'd like to build for my '70 4x4, for another work truck. Do you have anymore pictures of it? (if you don't mind me copying your work).
Great job!
Ted
