Buks,
Beautiful!!! Though I agree it would be more attractive in Green . . .
What a wonderful original example. A heavy 2-tonner like that would probably have been born with the early, low oil pressure 235, as opposed to the 216. Not a lot more HP, but more torque. Can't remember how to tell one from the other . . . almost identical.
There's a lot of info for them. I find the salesman's data book particularly interesting, and very useful for specifications. It's available from the usual vendors, Jim Carter Chevy or Chev's of the '40s. The service manual is also, of course, indispensable. It's sometimes hard to tease out the details of the larger trucks in it, but it's all there.
By-the-way, I might come see your truck in person, if it doesn't warm up here in the Midwest - 15 Farenheit right now, probably dropping. South Africa sounds good.
