Just alittle update.....

Greetings Y'all....

Havent posted in awhile so I thought id pop in and give yall abit of an update on my ole pal Junior......(1980 Chevy Custom Deluxe Long bed)

Had to replace the Holley carb since it took to dumping raw fuel through the motor after a rebuild, didnt run it long so I didnt "wash" any of my bearings out, upgraded to a Mr. Gasket 1" phenolic spacer and a new Edelbrock 4106 carb, runs great, good idle, great throttle response.

Had to replace the rear taillight lenses not to long ago, ordered a set frame Brothers and it makes the truck almost look like new (well the bed anyways)

Got a few other things that I need to replace yet ( new Mallory Distributor, brakes and wheel bearings,tie rod ends,passenger side door, drivers side fender etc.) should be good to go.

With the hot weather of late (ranging between 100-108 degrees more with a heat index.) havent gotten much chance to work on the truck lately, hopefully will be able to get back to it soon.

Y'all take car, be safe and keep on truckin'...
