Howdy, from Ohio! I've been lurking around here for a while now and decided it was probably time to join in. I'm not what you would call a GM guy but, the more I look around the farm I see no less than six Chevy trucks. So....
I'm currently working on a 1948 Chevy Thriftmaster that a friend of mine built about 25 years ago. He's since worn out his shoulder so now, that it needs updates, I'm taking them on. Looking back through the pictures I've taken I'm kicking myself for not taking any before I started on it. This truck started out with a 216 (I believe) and my friend put a 261 in it around 2000-02 range. It now has a mid 60's 292 and an NV3500 out of a mid 90's truck. Not a stovebolt, I know, but he wants to be able to drive to Colorado in this thing. So we're hoping that it will go highway speed reliably.
