51 Chevy Pickup
Samantha brought us her newly aquired 51 for some needed love. We simplified her fueling by going back to a smiple, tried and true OEM exhaust manifold and a single Webber 2BBL carb with electric choke for daily drivability. The dual Rochesters on top of a leaking intake were rendering the truck nearly undrivable. We also retrofitted a bear claw latch conversion kit to get rid of the terrible original design and prevent the doors from opening themselves while on the road.
