This weekend we decided to visit the Texas Hill Country and see the Boerne Swap Meet. It was a small meet in the fairgrounds. We did not see any of the big vendors or much old truck stuff but it was still a success for us. I found an original fresh air heater that per the seller is working and

I ordered the Offy 2 carb intake for my 53 235 in my 3/4 truck. I went to order a pair of Carter YF's to go on it and was amazed by the number of different Carters that will go on that era 235. What specific model numbers do you guys suggest for the Offy intake? Peter Young 53 3/4 ton flat bed

[old-chevy-truck] headers, scavenging What??

What is 'scavenging'? I don't have headers on my Pcup or Burb yet but they will be there sometime so I don't have decreased gas mileage due to a lead foot or sweet sounds. The gas mileage will probably go down after installation even after rejetting and timing probably due to the foot and soun

Thanks for the info, Nate. Every website I've seen recommends etching the concrete with muriatic acid. I know I've read on this list that this stuff can be dangerous. Am I right? If so, what's the best way to use itsafely? I'm building a new shop, so the concrete is new. Tom Caperton '4
