Re: Another Blue Chevy
Took my Wife to breakfast at The St. Cloud Hotel on Saturday in the old truck. They are remodeling this Hotel that has sat vacant for a few years. They will have 36 rooms available when finished. It has quite an interesting history. https://unbridledholdings.com/hotel-st-cloud/

Re: Another Blue Chevy
This is the cardboard I saved the spark plugs in while I ran the tests. I just wrote the results on it to coincide with the cylinders.

Re: Another Blue Chevy
I had a friend get ahold of me Friday night and ask if I was still looking for a rear bumper. We went to look at what he had gotten with an old International pickup . These are the pictures he sent me.

Re: Another Blue Chevy
I didn't need the front one but I bought both of them anyway. After getting them home I set the rear up on some jack stands just to see what I needed to mount it. I will mount it a couple inches lower to clear the license plate.

Re: Another Blue Chevy
After taking off the brackets and overrider, I used a flap wheel to clean of the surface rust and found this on the back , So they are GM bumpers.

Re: Another Blue Chevy
I'm not sure if IHC used GM bumpers or it was just a coincidence that he ended up with them.

Re: Another Blue Chevy
Kind of ironic because the '67 Stepside I used to have I installed a IHC Scout front bumper on the rear.

Re: Another Blue Chevy
I sprayed bed liner on the passenger side running board and set my new step plate on just for the picture... My wife asked if I did a before and after picture... I said "No!" and she said ...well you still have to do the driver side , So... I took a picture of that side before I sanded and sprayed it today. Once they have sat and cured for a few days then I will bolt the plates on.

Another Blue Chevy
No, THANK YOU for keeping this fine truck on the road where it belongs .
As I age out more and more I miss my 'B.I.T.S.A.' 1946 3100 series, it wasn't as pretty as yours but worked well and very hard, I used it as my shop truck in the 1970's & 1980's . I need to begin cleaning out my back yard of old things, sadly I'm not allowed to mention what here s they'll probably get scrapped, I'm all done selling things at the local swap meets .

Re: Another Blue Chevy
I got the step plate mounted on driver side running board. Added my 1935 plate to the rear bumper. Installed empty heater box , I will add the core before next Winter.

Re: Another Blue Chevy
We took the truck to Canon City First Friday. Quite a few old Ford trucks there. This is a picture taken by a friend. I forgot to take any pictures. There's the '35 way back at the back of the line.
