They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

Smith, I have posted on those horns before too. I have seen enough of em to decide they must be an option on the 41/46 trucks. Mine had a set under the hood too, only without the bracket. I have it from a good source that even if you warn a 5 year old, those dual horns will scare the crap out of em!!   | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 975 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 975 | And it looks like your 216 is a 1948 vintage according to American Classic... | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | Wow, that is the engine in that truck? Man, somebody was taking care of that.
I used something called Fluid Film in my cylinders. It comes in a spray can and I find it the best rust breaker that I have used. I jacked up one rear wheel and used it to turn the engine over. I started with just a few degrees of movement and after a day or so, I made it through a whole revolution. Next I used the fan and belt and the last thing I did was turn it over with the plugs out, using the starter. You might want to pull the distributor and turn the oil pump over. Also if it stays stuck, I would pull the valve cover and take the pushrods out. If it is some stuck valves holding things up, you will soon know. | | |
