Well I have been looking at buying a 53 chevy truck for over 6 months now and before I wasn't going to get it since I bought a 48 chevy coupe. Well now I need a everyday driver and might buy this thing now. I looked up the number on the head and this is what I found...
3836848
GM 29
That should be the numbers to a 235 if I am not mistaken. Any info on this would be greatly appreciate.
Also I won't have but 1000 bucks to spend on fixing the engine up, interior, brakes, etc. It will need a bit of work and all new paint, etc. The guy said the engine ran when he parked it about 6 years ago so I am guessing that if I change all the fluids, plugs and wires, put a new ignition coil on it, etc it should start right up. I looked at the miles on it and it's showing 63,688. I don't know if maybe it turned over or not and there is more than that or what but that's what it shows. How would the tranny be do you guy's think? Will it need to be rebuilt or what? I don't wan't to have to put tons of money into this right now like I said. Later on I would like to change out the straight axle and put a dropped axle in or a IFS with air bags.
I plan to just drop the front down, paint it flat black, cheater slicks in the rear (wide whitewalled tires of course) and leave it at that.
Thanks a lot for any info guy's!
