Buddy of mine ..
Gave me a parts truck..
53 chevy..
He thinks ??? It's 250 motor..
He knows it used to have a 235 in it..
But thinks his dad swapped it to a 250.
Years ago..
Whats sad is...
Someone's stored fertilizer in the cab ?!?!???[S
Why ?
Pretty much everything is gone except the short bed and motor and three speed.
How do i tell what motor it is ???.
 
Reading some interesting stuff
Abouts the old six bangers..
Fancy heads, and turbo charged !
.....
Anyhoo...
My first car was a 48 chevy pickup.
Had a 216 in it..
Gave fifty bucks for it...
Drove it quite awhile. .
Till some no good worm stole it out of the school parking lot. When i went to watch a basket ball game ..:mad:
I loved that truck. It only had three short comings. .
Motor could have been a little stronger.
But it did have a mountain of torque. .
Geared too low.
And the half ton would drag the rear bumper if you tried to haul too much in it.
And of course, us boys would load her down to the hilt..
Pop would say.. don't worries about the mules!! Load the wagon !!
(And we did)
Sooooo...
Looking like next project is (i bought old irons 50 chevy)
Build A 3/4 ton short bed.
Higher gears, granny low four.
Souped up 250 or 292 ?
Be my dream farm truck.
From my misspent youth..:D
 
It was also the truck, that i kissed my first girl..
But we had to break up.. when we found out we was related. .
Lotta memories .....sigh
