Forgotten Rod! Wadaya think?
I am a new member and I have my high school hot rod sitting in my garage. I am almost 30 now, just got married, and need to put a little varoom back under my foot. My rod is a 1966 Chevy Shortbed Fleetside pickup truck. The body is super straight and she isn't rotted out. Right before I went to collage I built up a 454 and shoehorned it in. I had a buddy of mine fab a 1 inch thick front motor mount and she sitts in there right. The body is in red oxide primer and has faded with age, but she still looks sweet and smooth. Right before I went off to collage I gutted the interior. I figured with that out, I wouldn't be able to sell it while I was away at school. Damn good thing too!! Collage aint cheap. Anyway, my wife and I have thought about throwing some money into it and getting it back out on the road. We don't have much to spend, but the other day I charged up the battery, changed the oil and gas (more like water!) and fired it right up. I need new wheels and tires though. Still the old six lug. I really want 15x10 steel wheels that I can put fact chevy caps on and raised white letters on and roll with pride. The chrome is great, and the supertraps are thundering again. Can you help a guy out????
