Texas Classic - a photo on Flickriver

Texas Classic

            This 1949 Chevrolet 3100 half ton pickup was a ten+ year weekend project.  Original in most respects, including the 6 cylinder engine, it did benefit from 3 speed transmission from a 80's model Camaro, a rear axle with larger brakes from a 90's model Blazer as well as power steering and disc brakes up front.  When I first found it, it'd barely do 50 miles an hour wide open and then it'd take half a block to get it stopped.  That'll get you blown off a Texas highway these days.  The new gears and brakes made it driveable on today's roads.  The state flag of Texas was freshly painted on the side of a barn that I happened across on a back road outing near Montgomery, the "birthplace of the Texas flag".
