And it's for the most part unmolested. And it grew up in the area that I grew up in. Besides, by me paying that much for it, it makes your guys trucks worth that much more, so I'm doing everybody a favor. You can thank me later.

Well you said you could afford it, so there you go!

It's called treating yourself for a change "IT'S YOUR TURN" get over it! Women have no problem with this concept.The family comes first and you strike me by your posts as a guy who takes care of things for them and by the way $3.800 is a good deal. It's what you wanted, you have the money and you rescued another one of our trucks. Assignment completed, well done.

esll.

thewishartkid · 08-05-2007, 08:47 PM

I like it,small window is cool!

EAST SIDE LOW LIFE · 08-06-2007, 03:42 AM

Well it looks like you scored your truck after all! Looks like a great driver in good shape. If you make this into a project you have a great starting point.

esll.

**Already Gone** · 08-06-2007, 05:42 AM

It'd probably be easier to find another wife than another truck like that one. !!

57sailplane · 08-07-2007, 11:55 AM

i just googled your block code numbers. correct me if i am wrong but the last two letters are (RM). i could not find that exact sufix but they do run in years. the R's start out in the 60's. RK is a 63 high performance car 327. the RP is a 64 corvette 250hp. i bet yours since its in between and has those covers is either a 63 or 64 corvette engine. bet thats worth some coin. might make that pickup a steal after all.

wibilly · 08-05-2007, 09:34 PM

you could always park it at my house and tell the wife it's gone and you made a profit then mabe she will realize they are not a bad thing. nice truck by the way

Bishops Trucks · 08-06-2007, 04:01 AM

I must be married to your wifes sister. They all get over it eventually.

Frizzle Fry · 08-06-2007, 01:25 PM

Good purchase!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-06-2007, 10:25 PM

Glad to see ya got her nice looking truck..

57sailplane · 08-06-2007, 10:39 PM

man 3800 i thought at first was a little high but after you get her done in like 4 or 5 years. she will be well worth it. these trucks will soon come up in price i hope..

did you ever find out what block and heads those are.

1fun71 · 08-06-2007, 11:43 PM

looking at the valve covers and the heads they look like 265 heads.... 55' Vette motor maybe?? no expert though but I try.

toms68cst · 08-06-2007, 10:38 PM

That's a deal for the money,

That's the first time I've ever seen AIR pump and crankcase vent listed as options on a 67 or any other year for that matter.

earl87gta · 08-07-2007, 06:12 AM

When you get it done she will probly be the one that wants to driv it. I have a gt40 replica car that ive been building for years and when I first brought it home my fife wanted to kill me. but the first time she drove it she changed her mind.

68C15 · 08-07-2007, 06:41 AM

I think I would do some major research on that motor. for some reason those valve covers and the stamping # starting with a "FI" makes me curious.

mexgrhd68 · 08-08-2007, 03:36 AM

I think that's my trucks sister, you can park her next to mine,no problem

CrashEd · 08-08-2007, 05:40 AM

I think he will find its a 283 code= F1129M
F= flint
11= 11 month
29= 29th day
M= 283 1958 truck motor 160 horse
I photo shopped the picture to make it clear and thats what it looks like to me.
Beautifully truck thats for sure id love to find one like that around here.

YUP - that's what I figured, too, and the cartridge style oil filter kinda confirms that to me. Runs decent, though, but it'll eventually go. I'm not quite sure why they would put that motor in there, but when you buy a 40 year old truck, you can't be suprised by anything.

EAST SIDE LOW LIFE · 08-09-2007, 04:05 PM

Not a Vette block. Nice Vette valve covers though. The covers are earlier then 67 as they had a hairline crack in the factory mould that they kept using. Was visable on pass. side, ran through the o in the Corvette script.

esll.

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-09-2007, 04:10 PM

Nice score

mr402 · 08-09-2007, 05:18 PM

That is a great looking truck with lots of potential. Once you get it where you want it she'll probably never let you get rid of it. The heads look like they have the offset valve cover fasteners. If so they are from a 55 or 56. I can't read the code very well but a single "F" is for a 55 265 Power glide car. Didn't see FI or FII on the listing. Here's a link that might help. http://www.nastyz28.com/sbchevy/sblock.html#ecode
