Chevys
Hi Guys,
Wanted to let everyone know that the 12th annual Mineral Wells swap was
better than ever this last weekend. Tons of old truck stuff both AD and TF.
This meet is generally smaller, taking me about an hour to walk through
without stopping to talk too much. Not really worth the price of plane fare
but the 80 deg weather made for a beautiful drive both ways and a bit of a
sunburn too!!
I stopped by Marvin's booth at Yesterdays Chevy Trucks (on our vendor
list) and wanted me to tell everyone thank you for all the great support you
have given his business since I had him added on the vendor list last year!!
He is going to expand his operation to include the later model trucks
sometime this summer. His new facility will be located north of Waco on
Interstate 45.
To really round out the trip I crossed the street and entered the
airport where a SCCA race was taking place and got a ride in a BSP-prepared
Datsun 260Z race car. What a treat for an old truck guy!! Then I headed back
through Weatherford, stopping at a great nursery and tree farm called Willow
Lake on Hwy 180. It was a fantastic trip!!!

J, the hydrovac has a diaphram in it and that is the air filter/intake for
one side of the diaphram. If unfiltered air got in there, it soon would
fail.

Thanks ALL!!!
My 46 Chevy has passed the state inspection. With all of your help I was
able to get the breaks/brakes (stopping system) working. After bleeding the
system a few times with a one man unit it was still a no go. Well someone
spoke about a bench bleed and was told not in the 40's. I pulled the master
(try number 3) and howned the crap out of it. Put it all back together.
After I put it back in the truck I pumped it until no air bubbled up from
the master into the reserve tank (this was missing on the first two tries).
I then went to each wheel and bleed the system again - with little air. I
also adjusted the toe board clearance moving it more away from the master.
Well all of these changes worked. I started with good pressure. And the
second day the pedal seemed to engage about 25% higher up. It has remained
at this position for the past few days. I still have the rear brake pads
turned in all the way and they seen to have stopped rubbing. The man who
did the inspection and will do the kingpin work for me told me to drive it
about 100 miles then do the adjustments. The main thing is that it all
works - THANKS AGAIN LIST.
Now the new issue. Cooling system. I have a very old cap that has one side
cut off and it is not fitting tight to the radiator. Should this be
replaced ASAP?
The top radiator hose had a small leak. So I got a replacement hose. In
replacing this the fluid overflowed some on the quick swap. With the new
hose in place the hose no longer leaks. Could this have made the thermostat
stick? I topped off the radiator with fluid and checked - it was good to
- -10. Well in driving to the inspection I got a boil over, it was about a 10
mile drive. They refilled with juice and told me to take it home and flush
and back flush the radiator. I got about 1/2 pound of muddy dirt out of the
system.
I then re-filled the radiator, good to about -10. If it sits running on the
driveway (1/2 hour) it will go to about 170. On any drive over 3 miles it
will go over 180 then at faster speeds get into the dot to 212 range. I then
pull over and let the motor run it will cool down to 180 after 15 min.
Next, I was told to replace the thermostat, the one I pulled was rated at
175. Going by the shop manual I put in a 160 thermostat. I now can drive
it and it stays around 180 or a little higher when I drive.
However, last night after a 5 mile drive, I shut off the motor right away
and the radiator boiled over. Should I keep the motor running to cool it
down after each trip? The outside temp is around 60 so I can not guess what
this would be like on a 100 day.
I late last night filled it with just water. Today I drove it about 15
miles and the tempture stayed between 160-180 and got up to 190 on a big up
hill once home it did not boil over. Is it fixed or do I need to take some
action. Anything that I am not aware of?
Also I have a heater system and have turned it off since it is so warm -
could this be related to my problems?
Thanks again.

Hi!
Chevy made two different vehicles that folks call a "panel". One is the
Panel Truck, which is based on a pickup chassis and front end, but with
an enclosed body (no rear side windows). The other is a Sedan Delivery,
which is built on a car chassis, and looks kind of like a metal bodied
station wagon, with no rear side windows.
In general, the Sedan Delivery is worth a few times what a Panel Truck
is worth...the street rod guys really like them, and will pay big bucks
for them. If it's all original still, and in good basic condition, but
needing complete restoration, then I would guess it to be worth about
$5000 (if he's patient). A panel truck in similar condition would be
worth between $1000 and $2000.
Do you think the vehicle in question is a Sedan Delivery?

Sorry the "Online Trucks Album" didn't work right! Somehow the link got
messed up. Try the one listed below. It should be right this time! The
"album" has 36 trucks, all Art Deco, Advance Design, and Task Force. These
pics were taken at the Myrtle Beach "Rod Run To The Sun" Auto Show on March
16-17. Over 2,000 autos there.
Just click on the thumbnail pic to get a larger version. You can also get
an even larger one by clicking on the pic again. This largest size can be
used as "wallpaper" if you want. (Just right click on it.) Just so you'll
know, the Zing site can be kinda slow sometimes. Hope you enjoy the pics!
