You can't hate spare parts. I'm in deep... Picked up a 1954 long chasis last night. I'm planning on rebuilding the 235 from it even though the motor in my 41 runs perfect. Mine is bored .060" over already and started life as a 1937 216 whereas the new one has a stock bore and started as a 235 with all the benefits of the newer 235. Edit: Engine is a 1954 261 ci Cast # 3703414
The chasis also came with a big bonus. A complete stock seat. It looks very restorable. All the metal and springs are in nice condition. Unfortunately it's missing the base that normally wraps around the fuel tank.
I was happy to get spare wheels, but now I'm not sure if they're the Firestone rh5. I'll have to verify it. Edit: irellavant. Wheels are junk. Rotted.
