Re: New Parts Truck

I will post pics as soon as I can. The tailgate is Chevy - and I think the entire bed came from a Chevy donor. Rough, rough, rough. I don't know much about propane and how it affects the engine internals. I DO know that my current 3spd tranny is worn out and the 230 a little less of an engine than I prefer. Having said that, the current drive train got me to work and back last weekend (70 miles round trip) without incident. So far my parts truck purchase has yielded a really nice horn button, a nice "Custom" insignia, a good rear view mirror bracket, and "Custom" passenger door trim. The floor pan is as solid as can be and the front seat, though worn, is the thickly padded version. The heater has only one knob so I do not know if it is deluxe or whatever. The truck has a factory w/s washer as well as a few other upgrades. It was originally dark blue with tinted windows.
