1952 1 Ton Rebuild

[ChevroletWT]

Awesome build man. Cool to see another young gun wrenchin on some vintage GM iron. You are moving right along with the resto and I'm looking forward to seeing it come together.

I'd say keep going with the effort to save the 216. Some people trash them, but I have one in my '51 Chevy Fleetline and after sitting for 40 years it runs like a little clock. Just needed plugs, wires, dist cap, points, and a fuel pump. It is seriously incredible how smooth that little engine runs!

What do you guys think?

Just an idea, but have you considered doing a steak bed? That would be a very plausible fabrication project, and it gives a really sweet utility look in my opinion.
