Don't press your luck!
 Sure, you know how to work on old trucks. Or maybe you're just starting in the hobby. Either way, safety is best learned through OPM (Other Peoples' Mistakes), not OJT!
Either as newly discovered wisdom, or a refresher, please read this article and live safely with your old truck!

This engine is out of my 39 chevy pu, but it could be any year I don't know what year. It was overhauled during a frame off restoration about 20 years ago, and apparently run for a short time and the truck was stored in a shed before I got it.
The engine is currently still intact in my garage, and I need the space so I am tying to give it away, someone must need it, if not it is going to the dump.
I am located in Maryland and cannot ship, pick up only. Hurry need the space for another project.

Bob, Thanks for posting your "Free" offer!  Very much hope someone in your region can give this a new home and save it from the scrap yard!!!.  I see you are still moderated, so folks can't send you a PM, but you do have your email in your profile so they can reach out to you that way. Let us know how this turns out please! Thanks again!!!

Hmmmmmmmmmm.... I sold a '39 1/2-ton about 20 years ago that I did a frame-off resto and engine rebuild on ...
At anyrate, there are plenty of us here in Maryland who can take that engine off your hands and either give it a good home or help find it a good home.
You are making a very generous offer and we will honor that.
If you are close to any of us (St. Mary's, Charles/So PG, Baltimore or Howard Counties -- even Eastern Shore!), we can help!
Thanks,
John

Hot Rod Bob, AM sure the recipient in Southern Maryland will put it to good use. Thanks for the generous donation to our Stovebolt community! Looking forward to more conversations in the future in whatever forum they may fall into. Dan

The Stovebolt Community in SoMD is very small and tight knit ... inquiring minds want to know ... WHO?????

Oh well.... I guess we'll never know. OP is probably back offline for another three years ...  Still ... as none of the usual suspects haven't fessed up yet ... the thought that there might be another, as yet unknown, 'Bolter lurking amidst the swamps of SoMD is an intriguing one ...
