Is a '50 GMC 228 a pressure-oiled engine, or a babbitt bearing splasher?
I've got a line on a cool old '50 GMC 1/2-ton with this engine. It is absolutely bone-stock! Pros/cons???

Looking at a truck in KS, and I might have a swap deal worked out. I'll post some pics and such if the deal actually transpires!

Hate spending money around tax time, because inevitably, I owe the bastards.
