Long time lurker, in the process of bringing an original 52 back to life. Truck has been sitting since 1984, indoors. The motor wasn't oiling on the back rockers and very rusty. So, I have starting installing a 1958 235 with a mild cam. I posted some problems I have in the drivetrain forum but decided I needed to introduce myself.
for the Texans, I sure wanted to be driving it to Austin Friday... not this year!
I hope you didn't get your 'handle' from personal experience!
