Hi everyone new member here from southeast IA. Just recently purchased a 50 Chevy 6400 and was looking for information when I found this site. I have a radiator found since the original was missing and when I get it home and installed I will see if I can get it running. I was running casting numbers on the block and it is from a 56 so it will have full oil pressure system. The only rust is a small hole in each cab corner. Looking forward to all the information on this site.
Welcome to the 'bolt. It looks like you have a solid start! If you haven't gone through the process of starting an engine after it has sat for a while, you might want to search for some procedures (maybe in the engine forum).
Another quality post. Real Trucks Rattle HELP! The Paranoids are after me!
Welcome to Stovebolt. Always wanted one of the bigger trucks but my time is running out!! Trucks will pay their way! Be sure to check out the BIG BOLT Forum. Lots of good guys hang out there and be sure to watch for other members from your area/state. They are here....somewhere.
Thanks guys. I've had 3 different pickups over the years and always wanted a truck when I ran across this one. It was headed for the scrap yard in a few days when I found her so couldn't leave her sitting there.

Bruce C Nice save that looks like a timing gears bombed failure. Long ago I worked with a machine shop foreman who once ran a garage on a busy hiway people would come in with chevy car trouble. He learned to ask if the windshield wipers flew-up when it quit... if so ,timing gears are gone !!
