CE you're doing a great job. That 58 isn't costing anything to sit there so hang on to it.If you sell it you might regret doing so later.
Thanks for the support guys, and the links Normie! There's been a bit of debate about my engine. The truck was a 1968 C30, but there's dates from 67 to 69 on the truck as a lot of these big grain trucks were cobbled. The debate is whether it's a 283 or a 327. I don't care either way, but it's still up in the air. I'm mainly considering selling because I'm dirt-floor poor and though I love 58 Chevies, I really want a 60 Chevy like my first car again, and I think that I can buy one much closer to done for what I think I can sell this one for.
Weren't 327's painted a pale blue? I guess there's no quick way to tell, except castings numbers. For now, just giver 'er. You'll sort it out.
Norman it's probably the difference between Canadian built cars and cars built in the states. I had a 66 Caprice with a 396 and it was orange. Every Chevy I have owned had the engine painted orange from the factory
Yeah for some reason the Big 3 nothings don't like sharing between countries. But that is another discussion
Everyone's heard this story, but I'll tell it again. Daddy's first car was a 66 Caprice Wagon with a 396 and I wish I had it!!!
Are there any updates? Does anybody know what they're testing this one for and because of the unusual air filter ducting, is this engine a Wedge? I suppose, the missing steering wheel answers the first part of the question
It's the first version of a self-driving car. The two elements from the front bumper are radar antennae; they follow the wires tacked to the road surface, hence the lack of a steering wheel/column. They would've done just as good if they'd cut a groove into the road surface and put a pin on the car's underside, so that they run like slot cars.
