Re: The Egg Hauler.... not much of a build

My dad wanted to get the 66 driving so he opted to pull the 350 from his 72 work truck and is going to put the 4.8 back into that. My mom went to visit my sister for the week last week to help out with their new baby so he had plenty of time in the evenings to get it buttoned back up and take it for a few test drives. It was his first time driving since I put the put the disc brakes on and he was really liking those.

He sent me a post transplant shot sitting in the driveway.

Well it looks like I might have to start a new build thread soon, but I will put the teaser pic and a few details in this thread. Been looking for a new project and finally found one to take a look at this morning. Got out the door at 6 am and drove 2 hours to check it out. Got some rough places but its an original looking truck, is exactly what I hoped it would be, and the price was right. 63 3/4 ton with a service bed. Lettering has been painted over on the doors but looks to have been used by the town of Lexington Sc water Dept. Has a running 235 with a 4 speed. Paid a deposit on it and agreed to pick it up in the next week or two.

Nice find - and right in my back yard too!!
The grille is a 1962 grille. But you already know that! Great find. Plans?

That outhouse in the background is straight out of the movies! Does that come with it? LOL!

Hey Jay, yes right in your backyard. This guy was in Blythewood...You know I was wondering about the grille when I first saw it...the truck may very well be a 62.

Hahah I didn't even see the outhouse when I was there.

Wanna get it driving and stopping good first then probably work on lowering it. I think it would be cool to bag it and get it way down. And a T5 is not out of the question either

Re: The Egg Hauler.... not much of a build

Cool find! Seems to be a popular trend with the utility trucks these days. Yeah that's a '62 grille & emblem, so I'd bet that's actually what you have.

Re: The Egg Hauler.... not much of a build

Awesome find there! I second that it's a 62 because of the grille and emblem but also because the 235 wasn't offered in 63 (except for 4x4 trucks)

It looks like a short wheel base. Have you measured?

I haven't measure yet, but my garage says it's a long wheel base haha. The Egg Hauler had a little extra room behind it when parked but this one is almost wall to wall. I agree the proportions don't look as exaggerated as most LWB trucks though.

Re: The Egg Hauler.... not much of a build

Went home for Mothers Day this weekend and my dad tossed my the keys to the 66 when were sitting out on his back porch. He said I hadn't driven it since he put the 350 in it and to see what I thought about it. I loved my tired, old, worn out inline, but being able to punch the gas and get on down the road quickly is really nice too! Night and day difference!

Re: The Egg Hauler.... not much of a build

Old school inline 6 gets points for being original and less common. SBC 350 upgrade def makes for an easy power swap but so very commonplace. If you like the 350SBC then nothing wrong with that. I had a bear of a time making my inline 6 power steering work. Would have been a no brainer with a 350 SBC.

I kept the non original 250 I had in it to use in my Nova when I sold the truck back to him, and he had the 350 in a 72 C10 he had bought so it was an easy decision for him. He said if he can track down the original 6 he will swap it back in.

Add some gas and air to that 6 banger and it'll wake right up.....best thing I did to my stock 292 was a 4 barrel and headers....man that thing pulled good!
