    Hows thing going?? the motor I bought off you is a 1964 to 1966 283 motor checked it out on that one web site,where you can run the numbers & it comes up the year of the motor.just going to take my time on rebuilding it.That one 1960 to 1963 chevy truck I saw on my way back from your house is in Arkansas right after cross the Miss. river & go to the outer edge of Mephis Tenn. it is white in color, step side, setting in a field with the wheels off the truck cant tell from the road what drive train is under the truck.What make me mad is when you see one like that you know its got good parts on it an someone just lets it set there,probably for 10 to 15 years its just sickning.....:(

    Yeah and after it is completely rusted out they'll try and sell it for the price of a small country. I'm glad that I found mine when it was still somewhat driveable.
