Also it was nice to see the original color of the 230 engines. Darker blue than I thought.

The engines were not all seized. I bought a 1964 from there, 3 miles on it. Put a bore scope in the cylinders of the 230 and everything looks perfect. This particular truck though was stuck. Soaked it for over a year with mystery oil and ran just the oil pump to lubricate bearings best I could. Still locked so I decided to toss a battery in it. Boom , unlocked. Thats as far as I went , did not try to start it. Many of these vehicles, the new owners had them running by the end of the auction like the 1964 Station Wagon.My truck is Now resting in a sea container till I get more time. All but one truck had no bed wood , that truck was parked in a shed till the auction. I was able to turn many of the engines by hand the day before the auction. Lots of bad info out there on these trucks. To me and me only I guess, its history I wanted to be a part of since I love these trucks more than most. The things or details Ive leaned mean something to me because I like trucks the way they came from the factory. Several of these trucks have been restored , horribly I might add , they just used their own interpretation of original like so many do.
