$300 in any condition is quite a score. Can't wait for the pics.
Welcome to the "other side" of the board.
You'll like it here. We're a friendly bunch, and there's less "drama" over here.

Well did you get that Truck?

kaycee · 10-17-2010, 09:39 PM

Yes sir I got it

and have been cleaning and trying to figure out a direction for it stock or modify.Got the carb all cleaned up and jerry rigged a gas can to it and fired right up even drove it around the block a few times.I will try and get some pics in the next day or 2.Need some front lower fender and cab corner patch's and alittle on the pass. floor board.It has a 4 speed and the ol 6cyl. (235) how do I tell if it is a 235?

kaycee · 10-28-2010, 09:40 PM

Nice, Good Start

Love the 4 lighter ()()___()()

hsdropout · 10-28-2010, 10:35 PM

that was a good deal..........looks clean.
looks like the spare tire carrier bracket was modified or lowered somehow....?

You can get casting numbers off the block that will help ID the motor. Google search "stovebolt" inline six.
It is most likely a 235.

I just sold the original 235 out of my '59 and going with a 350 / 350.

Have fun with it!

Wow, nice find. $300 was a steal. I say go for the stock sleeper look.
