The original I-6 block was cracked. So, after the engine was rebuilt I decided to have it painted. Had cool patina, but I like em shiny as well as papa did. (which is probably why all the paint was buffed off lol.) Anyhow, here's an old pic of him standing by it, and a new pic from today.

Not a 60-66, but a very unusual pic so I thought I'd share. We don't see many assembly line pics and thought this one was very cool

These two photos were taken at the GM Tech Center in Warren Mi.

I recognize the (low) mushroom shaped street lamps.

I have a bunch of assembly line pics that I have found. Was looking for a thread on the assembly line, but all I found was a 66 assembly line thread. These are from 1959 at the Tonawanda Engine Assembly plant. The pics of the cars/trucks on the assembly line are from Tarrytown, NY Assembly plant in mid 1959 before the 1960 models were being produced.

Those assembly line pictures are fantastic! Blows my mind that the exhaust manifolds were engine color going down the line. I wonder how long it took for that to burn off.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

The engine pics are good for the pureist...especially the 60-62 guys with the painting. There are alot of good L-6 pics in there. I'd love to have one of those 409/348's.... just a cool looking engine and good runners. They are from 1959, but was hoping the drivetrain pics might help, and the trucks coming down the line is cool.

lil hudlum...looks like a fleetside wrecker in the pic...pretty cool. Maybe its a reflection behind it...cool pics either way. Like the pic with the inbed spare...don't see tons of those in the older pics. Same goes w/spare fender carriers...I don't find alot of vintage pics of them.

Here's a new one to me, too big to post here. I think this is from Yellowstone. The trailer is for hauling/relocating bears.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

I like the CB antenna. I need to find one just like this to fill the hole in my 63. I need to get a patina/rusted one to go with the rest of the truck. Mine was drilled into cab above the gas cap just below the roof.

I may be wishing....but is the light blue one on the truck line a front clip on a chassis.....like for an ice-cream truck...?
Or maybe there is something in the way.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

Good eye, I didn't see that one. I would say you are correct. It must be for something like an ice cream truck, or maybe a school bus?

I did notice that all those small blocks had a strange 2 pc bellhousing and a different looking flexplate/flywheel. Maybe they were for the medium duty trucks?

I couldn't help but notice the somewhat rare '59 sedan delivery in this pic.

There's actually a few without beds....could be flat beds or going to be converted for other uses like delivery trucks. I have more pics of the same plant, but its all car related about 60 more pics of the production line process that I can post if there is any interest. Pretty much walks through a whole car build.

Did anybody notice the train cars that run through the plant. NY central system.

More fabulous pic's, as usual...

Upon close scrutiny, I think the Pepsi Tanker has been commandeered by the
N-Koreans.
It looks like they may have converted it to a fuel truck. That escort patrol acts like there's something more important than sody-pop in that truck.

BTW: Nice Brush Guard....and b!tch!n', hard-to-find 10.00/20 wide white walls.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

Probably full of nuclear fuel rods....haha. Of course they look like Farq rebels...maybe it was full of coke and not pepsi....just a thought.

And I thought the same about the large whitewalls. I don't know that I've even seen them in that size.
