I would love to find some old Chevys in that shape. They have all been hotrodded with a 350. Boring... My 84 year old father has a 55 chevy truck with three on the tree and that 6. He no longer drives it but it sits in his driveway. He really did drive a 55 truck back in 55 with the 265 V-8 and auto trans. No way would you be able to find that now. Hense, his midyear crisis vehicle being the 6 cyl 55 truck he got about 15 years ago. Vito |
