I am the second owner and am getting ready to restore the truck. When I got it, it was all there but the throttle knob and the tail light lens. All the fenders need to be replace (dur to dents). It has a 216 that is siezed up so I am thinking of putting in a 250 with a 350 trans just to get it going and cruise around. (any thoughts on that?) | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 3 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 3 | | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | Hi AJ welcome from Scotland.
There's a few 37 owners here,If you're looking for parts etc, post some requests in the swap meet section.
I'm not too hot on the inline 6s so try a post in the relevant forums and you'll get the info you need.
Good luck
Jock.

If you plan to keep a six in it, consider a newer stovebolt six, a 235 or a 261, it will fit easier, although you can make anything work. I'm sure you will soon meet another '37 Chevy owner.

Good luck with your project. Just let us know what your needs are. If we dont' have it we can probably lead you to someone who does!! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 3 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 3 | | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 46 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 46 | Welcome - I'm 35 miles north of you and still looking for my project. Check out the engine and driveline forum and search for "swaps." Also, check out the article on restore vs. street rod.
I still wrestle with original restoration vs. selective upgrade vs. radical modification. The feedback I got was if you have all the original parts you should restore it. You can search my posts to see the whole dialogue I started when I asked what rear end would go well with a Duramax on a big block Chevelle front frame clip.
Next week, I'm checking out a pile of '39 parts in Petaluma. There is supposed to be more than enough to put a whole truck together. | | |
