Newbie to forum and old trucks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

scruffdawg · 10-18-2006, 03:16 PM

I am fairly new to restoring old Chevy trucks. I like all Chevy trucks 87 and older. My favorite is 64-66 though. I have a 65 Chevy C10 short wide with 350/350 and 373 rearend. It is still very rough, but I am having a blast both driving and restoring it. I am still learning all about restoring or rebuilding old vehicles. There are more pics and info at http://webpages.charter.net/techdon/index.html
Thanks, and see ya around.

Oh, yeah, I am also having trouble finding info on my engine. The only markings I have found is on ledge in front of right head with "MK07800". I am not sure if the 0's are zeroes or the letter o. I have already looked at MorTec.com. They did not have any info on this number. If any of you have any ideas or might know what this would tell me, I would be grateful. Thanks again.
