    Wow, I don't know how long it has been since I've seen anyone drive column shift! I learned to drive in my dad's '55 Chevy Bel Air with straight 6 and column shift, and graduated from high school when that truck was brand new. I always love watching your videos because you know what you are doing and do it right the first time. Whenever I do anything it is by trial and error...more often error than just trial. Thanks a lot for sharing your fine work with us.

    That rebuilt carb looks beautiful. Good luck. For some reason, I kept expecting to see a fuel pump in the gas tank. My neighbor had to replace the sheet metal in the floor of the old truck that he restored. His wife use to call it the Fred Flintstonemobile because it had huge holes in the floorboard.

    These were always dangerous with the tank behind the seat.
    My 49 Dodge step side
    Had the tank mounted under the cab inside the frame rail mounted with brackets much safer.
    And that old strait 6 flathead was a charm

    I like that old factory GM teal green color, she's a cool old truck Gib your brother will enjoy her. She's coming along nicely Gib great work on a great old Chevy. Next summer (if I haven't sold my 63 C10 short box) I'm going to have to get up the muster (it sure sucks getting old and not have a garage to work in any more) and do the clutch/flywheel/Prs Plt/ThrBr/ not sure if any of it's ever been changed but it's definitely time Gib, I get lot's of chatter when she gets hot and slips like crazy it could be just old and oil soaked but it needs changed. Is that a NAPA Clutch Kit or ? Is it a 10" or 10 1/2" kit with that inline 6? What is nice about changing them out is there very simple for sure and I've adjusted mine out just about as far as she will go and I know it's not always the best way of doing things but it makes that old clutch last alittle longer. Thanks again for sharing with us all my friend. You and your Pops Keep On Trucking Brother👍
