The interesting thing was that the first winter (winter of '49/'50) the engine froze and they took it to the Big City Machine Shop (A local Bates) for a new crate motor -- a 216. When the 216 finally died in the early '90's, they went back to that same Bates for another engine. Amazingly, they had rebuilt the truck's original engine (the 235) but never sold it... until then! They put the original engine back into the truck about 47 years later!!! How's that for luck?  John
