I just got this last Dec from a friend in Atlanta. He said 'needs nothing' but that was not exactly right...by a long ways. Well, cosmetically it needed little but to drive and be safe it has just undergone a transformation. Starting with a new clutch, then Mustang II IFS, new wheels, radials, brake upgrade incl power boost dual MC. Now considering a differential gear change to 355 so it'll be easier on the engine at high way speeds.

Paint job is not great closer than 10', but I get lots of 'thumbs up' around town here in Grass Valley. There are tons of street rods and restored American cars and trucks here...a lot to drool over.

The door graphic is in honor of my favorite Uncle..Walter Markham. He was a cattle rancher in Salinas back in the 40-70's raising Reg. Herfords and race horses. Quite a guy he was. So...my truck's name is Walter.

Photo bucket is below...

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

I have been posting in other places around the forums but not here of late.

Since my truck's update is now in the Gallery, I'll keep track of more "doings" on the truck here so folks can check back in if they are interested.

My ride, pretty much a daily driver, is a 49 Chev. 3100 which I purchased from a guy several years ago. It looked nice but sure had some issues and has taken me, and my checkbook, a few years to get it to it's present state.

Paint is OEM color combo with Green and Black fenders... I like that better now than I once did. I have tried to keep it as stock looking as possible but added things for safety and drivability.

It has a 235 from a '57 car so is high pressure oiler, dual two bbl progressive Weber carbs and converted Oil Bath air cleaners. I will be trying to back date the engine compartment more soon. Paint was restored a few months ago and door sign painted on. It is to honor my long deceased Uncle who was a cattle rancher in Salinas.

I'll just post new stuff as time goes on. Check out the Gallery page if you have interest in more of the details ... from the beginning smile .

Many thanks to all the fellow Bolters, and John and Peggy, who have assisted me with advice and comments...
