Stock powerglide he had rebuilt.

Some WWW and spider caps are in order. He's got the green wheels for the front to match the rear, he just had the new 14" tires for the front so he used them. I don't know when I'll be able to order tires though but I got some used 15" tires that I can use up front to get the green wheels back on there and get some spider caps.

Yeah that will help a bunch!! Even if you can find some used narrow whites with the spiders, I think that would help.

Well got some different air cleaners on there. Now I want to find a matching pair but they will do for now.

What they are is, the Chevy trucks, 54 and earlier style, these are "standard" air cleaners. They originally had a copper mesh element in them. The reason they are so rare is because most of the time, the first thing that happened was they were chucked for an oil bath cleaner. Well I never knew they made two different styles till I got them. I'd actually like another base off the rear one, and the lid off the front one. The rear one has a base that tapers up and sits up higher.

Hopefully gonna find time to go down and get the green wheels for the front and get my thin whites mounted that I picked up and order some spider caps.

I cleaned up the interior some, got rid of the blankets and house carpet he had in there, got a piece of auto/boat carpet for the front, the rear seat is pretty good condition but the front seat is all ripped, I got some mexican blankets I need to cut up and actually make some covers, I want to get the seats re covered but don't want the down time right now, so winter project.

Also Joel talked me into making a cover for the package tray since the original one was gone. Fake rabbit(?) fur.

You're silly, you won't be able to see the tuck 'n' roll beneath the chinchilla fur.
