So what's a farm without a truck?



This is Old Red. I know, Old Red is pink. I'm not gay. One of these times I'll figure out how to use that profile thing. Old Red is a '48 Chevy 2 ton. Engine, well there isn't one. I have one, though. It is a 235 six and I'm putting it together. It was overhauled, .040 overbore, but it has been taken apart and a couple of mistakes corrected. Pal nuts on the rods, and tab washer on the timing cover inside bolts. Gotta come up with some cam lube and I'll be ready to put the pan back on. I'll try to get pix of the work in progress. In the mean time, here is a picture of me hauling Old Red across Kansas. Hauling vehicle is a 1949 Chevy truck with '52 cab, '58 235 engine, 4 speed. Starting to look more like a farm, eh?
