hefty chonk

 

The chonkiest chonk that ever chonked.

 

Oh lawd he coming

 

1959
Engine choices were the 223 Mileage Maker 6 or the 292 Y Block V8

The Y block was so called due to the deep skirt design of the block which went well below the crankshaft center line. This results in a very rigid block, also a heavy one, Chrysler B & RB big block engines are also built this way. (383, 413, 440, etc)

Y Block, notice the canister oil filter, just like the Tacoma.



Y Block



Compare to a Chev 350, the block skirt ends about the crankshaft center line.

 

Most notable was the Oil Bath air cleaner Smoke when you cranked ‘er too hard.

 

When I'm that high, I leave everything I can't tether to my body in the truck. It's just not worth it.

This is from after lunch we had some preps to knock out.

 

A square bodied, blacked out fire truck?

YES PLEASE!

 

Four total, it just happened...

Daisy, the tough cat yard foreman was the (crazy) neighbors cat, she decided that she was moving in with us.

Quincy, limped into the dooryard at the garage one day all beat up, barely moving on 2 legs, open wounds, must have tangled with a car, I fed him and he disappeared, 2 months later he reappeared - just a bag of bones, I fed him a few days and trapped him -- I wasn't on his A list at that moment...

Bizzy, a wet shivering tiny little kitten found at night on a cold rainy street in late October.

Bonnie, came to us about 6 months old, undernourished and with a bad smell too... She was going to be dumped somewhere (I sincerely hope fate, karma or higher power has special plans for people who do things like that), so she came to live with us.

 

Quincy looks just like our cat lightning. He went out Sunday and we haven’t seen him since which is weird for him, hopefully he makes it back.

 

Morning all have a great weekend

 

Good Saturday morning friends! Hope everyone had a great week and has an awesome weekend

 

I saw a box gmc that upon closer look was a "High Sierra" yesterday. Little different trim than the Chevy of that era. Good looking truck, sounded like a manual too.

 

Good morning guys. Have a great weekend!

 

You should add this before send off
