Actually Chevy lengthened the chassis in '28 thinking the six might be ready. Up through '34-'35 they were good hot rod material. The wood is an issue. I am repairing the wood in a '26 roadster right now. I'm also building a 292 to replace a worn out 350 in my '68 flatbed. Closed engine bay but these are at home in a tough little truck.
What part of Nevada?
