Truck based woody

[GB SISSON]

A lot has happened this year to the old woodie project. Over the winter and spring I built and installed a 276 cu in stroker flathead along with an adapter plate to mate a T-5 OD transmission from a '93 S10 pickup. Today I leave the island in the woodie to attend the annual Puget Sound Gas Engine and Tractor Association's extravaganza at Lynden Wa. I pulled out the back seat to make room for my army cot, brushed on a couple new coats of varnish and installed some actual working vacuum wipers mined from parts trucks in the woods. It's spittin' rain a bit here after a good soaker yesterday, but clearing nicely for the Wednesday-Saturday show... I'll get some pics from there and see if I can post them. Finally a chance to run that new powertrain 0n the interstate! Here's a pic of varnish job and another of last year's accomodations at the show.
