They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | | | | Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 1,002 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 1,002 | I had a 63 C20 with a Olds 350, TH400, and 4.10 Detroit Locker rear axle. It was quick, but the mpg sucked. That engine was not meant to turn high rpm, it was made for a luxury car low rpm and quiet. It did have a problem, the starter sat behind the exhaust manifold and on long trips it wouldn't start after I filled up with gas, till it cooled off.

I don't own a vehicle that isn't old enough to drink.

The starter was on the streetside and had to be swung over top the curbside with a special adaptor as it interfered with the steering gear. Not a fun deal but was very strong runner. I also think that the transmissions you put up to them must have the BOP bolt pattern so Chevy trannys/bellhousings are out. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 | Yeah Dave I had a 57 olds in a 48 Chevy business coupe back in the early 60s that was fun to drive.
