Hey Guys i may have told some of you at the TF Dinner, but I bought this truck off ebay while in CeRap. Well I just got the pics I've been waiting for. I bought it primarily becuase it has a Newer (claimed) to be a late 50's replacement block with no numbers, and its just a kool truck. This is important becuase it will be the doner engine for my 4X4 which needed a 58' 245. The truck is supposed to run great and drive well, however it has not been started in a couple of years. The owner just past a month ago from cancer at age 64, so he just quit driving a couple of years ago.
Is there any way for some of you to date the engine without numbers? The goal is to put a 4E engine number on the block without someone coming along and debunking it.
I am really happy with these pics, the ones on ebay were sub-par but the thing looks really solid and straight. I have a good rebuilt 6R245 that may go in this truck so it won't be neglected.
Also can anybody date the fuel tank body, I assume it is original but one can't be to sure 60+ years anything could have happened.
