I have a 1939 1/2 "True Barn Find" Chevy. It had 32,000 miles. I've put on 10,000. I bought it from a guy that got it given to him by his grandmother when his grandfather died. He stuck it in a barn until I cane along and gave him $ 500 bucks. Never done a thing to the motor for the first ten years and it ran like a top. I added dual carb and headers a year ago but the motor is bone stock. Never been out of the truck until i removed it to paint it. Then I put right back in. If I can get my son to show me how to add photos I will post the way it looked the day I got it and what I have done with it in the past 20 years.
I'd sell mt sole before I'd sell that truck!!
