Another one bites the Dust - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72armyswbtruck · 04-17-2007, 02:28 PM

I went to pic this up this morning and the crusher ate it.

It was the one 67 that had the 348 in it. I know that it was atleast the 348 because of the W and that it had 8 valves.

shame.

72armyswbtruck · 04-17-2007, 03:02 PM

There was a little bondo under a chunk of paint around the filler neck.

davidh · 04-17-2007, 04:14 PM

Dont do that again. That hurts to see that!!

grayw0lf · 04-17-2007, 09:58 PM

How wasteful... Its shameful.

O'l Buck · 04-17-2007, 11:35 PM

wrong, wrong, sick and wrong....I'll let one of these trucks rot in the pasture before I sell it for scrap and let China turn it into cheap tools or whatever they do with them after they get em.

OK, I guess you've found one of my "dumb zones". What the heck is a 348,and why would it have 8 valves!?

TruckinDaddy · 04-18-2007, 04:17 PM

At'll buff out, don't you think?

RANDY COX · 04-18-2007, 04:56 PM

A 348 is almost a 409.

No.

67-72chevyman · 04-18-2007, 06:08 PM

That just looks sickning, I agree with ol buck I would put it out in the field if I couldn't use it. I cant stand anythang 1976 or older "Thats good old american iron" getting crushed. There was a 67 long bed in bad, but restorable shape minus motor and tranny that went to the local landfill 7 years ago and I had no way to get it home and it got cut up and crushed.

johnnywagon · 04-18-2007, 06:28 PM

I feel sick...

Believe it. Junk is so high right now, that everyone is crushing out. Doesn't matter what it is - they just see the $$

There should be a law against this type of molestation.

348 was a truck engine GM made from the late 50's to early 60's. They later made it a 409, and stopped making it in 1965 maybe? They have funny looking valve covers in the shape of a W.

There`s no way scrap prices will outweigh the value of a 348 or 409.Any knucklehead in the parts business would know that.
