I'm not arguing that in the least. I paid about 250 for it so I can't whine and I am thinking about painting it black anyhow. The whole build is supposed to look as if it was built around 1960 with a lot of finned aluminum on the engine that the block will be painted pretty close to the Stock AD truck gray When guys who don't know what they are looking at look at it I want them to be arguing if it is a 216,235 or a 261. The guys who know what they are looking at can just give a knowing sly grin and that's what it is all about.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
