Across the interstate.. I haven't a clue.

Re: Trucks in the Wild

Neighbour getting new fence built and the builder showed up in this 66. Of course I had to talk to him and I guess his Grandpa bought it new and its on its 4 engine now, now has a 350 he said, and he figured it has 1,000,000 miles on it. Also said it has been worked hard from new.

Re: Trucks in the Wild

That's an awesome truck and story.

Top Pic -- Post #988: Is that a 292 or 250? Any more pix of the whole truck?
I can tell it's a white 3/4 ton longbed fleetside from the crayons.
That is a really nicely set up L6.
Headers, A/C and P/S.

No , sorry . There were 1888 vehicles at the show and when I went through the pictures I took there were some I wish I would have gotten more of.

It's a 292 and I think the engine is what impressed me the most 'cause I neglected to get a picture of the truck itself. I think it was completely stock appearing if I remember correctly.

Well, Headers and a 2 or 4 Bbl carb are aftermarket. A 292 factory-optioned with P/S, and A/C would be extremely rare. Mostly they were put into bigger rigs, work trucks, fleet users, farm trucks -- and as a whole that demographic preferred to tough it out.

It looks like aftermarket A/C and it was running 2 2bbl carbs and upgraded brakes. I wish I would have looked it over a little bit more but I actually stopped to talk with friends and never stepped back over to look at the truck again. It's hard not to get distracted at a show that big. :lol:

No worries Man.
Like my Daddy used to say, ''We're out for a good time...''
You had fun at that carshow, and you shared it with us. Super. Talking with friends, and making new friends of like-minded Chevy Truck Nuts is all part of the experience.

I'm probably not alone here when I like to see how much detail I can extract from a single photo.
So, yes, the lack of a stock Heater Core points to aftermarket A/C. Vintage Air, maybe? Sanden compressor? The Carb is neither a Holley or Edelbrock -- have to guess a Rochester, based on the funky vac-actuated Choke. Air Cleaner is kinda small. Yeah, not the normal Power Brake Diaphragm. Could he have Hydroboost Brakes? Headers look familiar -- mine are early Clifford Research, but Heddman also has L6 Hedders. Breather Cap in lieu of PCV System. Gauge Dial in the firewall arch -- Fuel Pressure, or Vacuum? [Good spot for dialing-in A/F mix] Hard to tell the Intake Manifold -- could be Clifford or Offenhauser -- not enough showing. Without seeing the engine layout from the Passenger Side, we can't size the Lifter Covers. This could also be a souped up 250. Look at the airspace between the top of the Valve Cover and the Firewall arch.
Anyway, very neat L6. Not jealous at all. I salute my fellow Inliner, whomever he is...
Adding a shot of my 292 for comparison.
