Your truck looks real good, obviously a lot of effort that has paid off.
Tony

Here are a few more of Jeff's great looking truck.

Jeff, you should get some plugs for you r heater hose loop. It would clean up your already very clean engine.

I had plugs in the outlets but it warms up quicker with the hose in there,its very cold natured and needs all the help it can get

Are you running a thermostat? My 38 with a 216 was fast to warm up even with the heater valve shut off, and it has the heavy duty thick core radiator.

It has a 180 thermostat and has a 4 row radiator,most of the cold nature is probably from the Fenton headers and not much heat to the intake. I added the hose before I got a heat kit for the intake but its still kind of old natured.

Jeff, you are holding out on me, lets see the money side!

You have done a great job and truck looking nice.what is the model of this truck?

Great looking truck, Jeff!

Looks really good, Jeff. Congratulations!

Looking good Jeff. I'll stop by your house some evening and check it out real close.

The trucks been on the road for 13 years and I need to change the interior,I done the interior in 99 when the streetrod craze of leather and tweed was in so that is what it has but thinking about a dark brown leather that is close to the original color and red bead and thread to match the body.

Done some tinkering on it today and got it running much better,when I was chasing down the rattle in the motor I bumped the timing back thinking it was spark knock but never bumped it back up after finding the source of the rattle and it was a little slow. I came close to going back to 4.10 gears but I now can put it in 5th under 50 without dragging the motor down a bunch,its still got the rattle but it will run good until it lets go. I have a supposively low mile 235 that I need to make a stand to fire it up before thinking about installing,that is not going to be a easy motor change since the front clip will need to be removed so I wont scratch the paint. I could not find the ball on the flywheel on this motor and will make sure its on the replacement motor.

Wow! Nice truck!

very nice truck my friend

Really nice truck. what is the color.
Looking for a simaler red for my 34 truck
Thanks joe mac

At the time I painted it (1995) it was a inexpensive red at 35 dollars a gallon where most was getting towards 100 or more and I think its called graphic red and can not remember the manufacture.

Added vintage tunes tonight,well not quite so but its a period Philco radio head that will turn on and off the stereo in the glove box and just look like a vintage radio.

Neat addition! I really like your truck.
