Shop Pics

Just thought I'd post some pictures of some work I'm doing in the shop.

Mounted throttle body and partially installed wiring harness on the '49 Chevy TBI swap.
Mounted computer and partially installed harness under dash.

Nice shop and I love the look of that 52' Chevy pickup. Thanks for sharing Red :^)

Love those trucks. Good to see Old Navy hasn't got all of them.

I was wondering who all those high bidders were at Barret-Jackson.

Very cool. A little TBI action in there.

I'll snap some pictures tomorrow of some of the other projects we've got going on. The TBI swap has been relatively straightforward and easy, and I've done most of the work myself, with dad helping me with the wiring harness. Hopefully we'll have it running by the first of next week.

The truck isn't actually a '49; it's about 3/4 of a '49 body sitting on a '77 Chevy C10. Wiring harness, computer, throttle body, fuel lines and accompanying sensors came from an '89 C1500 donor truck, and the fuel tank, fuel filter, spark plugs, plug wires, distributor, engine coolant temp sensor and knock sensor are new.

Love the old Chevy trucks. I used to have a 57 and my Father had a 54 1/2 ton and a 54 1 ton.

So cool!

My dream car is an old farm truck like that with modern brakes, suspension, fuel injection, and air conditioning, so its comfortable, safe, and reliable.

A late model 5.3L LS motor with 300HP would be a heck of a nice swap.

The Bronco is getting a new fuel tank and we've got to get it running.
