    I bought a 1968 caprice once I believe it was and had a 327 in it and turns out was a special addition that was built in Canada across the river in Detroit. Had 202 double hump heads everything you could ever want in a motor. I rebuilt it change a few things and put in a 1978 Monte Carlo and was a very fast car !

    That rat truck would be a good candidate for a snowblower rig. Drop a 2 stroke diesel engine engine in the front of the cab and get an old snowblower attachment from a 3 point hitch. Mount The snowblower on a new hydraulic lift mechanism or repair the one that is on it. Make a small drive shaft run it from the pto of the blower and connect it to the directly to the engine. Use some old iron and put it on the back of the rig. Lastly, strap some tire chains on, and you will have a snowblower rig to move the snow in your scrap yard. I don't know if you get snow down your neck of woods? Would be perfect for up here in the East Coast of Canada.

    Frankenstein with the bucket is excellent! Turn it into the Happy Hooker🪝😮. Kind of a tow truck in reverse. That way you can see when you are pushing things backwards. He could use it for Yankee engines out lifting heavy items such as the rear axle assembly. I'm sorry that you took out the tailgate on your truck with the trailer. We see that quite a bit you can get one with a drop in the middle . Whoever put that together created a work of art.

That and some 6x9s in the package tray and I was stylin- but I didn’t have tapes. A buddy lent me his “Who’s Next” until I could get some. As a rat rodder I would remove the bucket and hydraulics and build it into a street legal Fury Road bomb

    If you still have those Grumman van emblems, I'm sure if you contacted Hannah & Corey Wheat, they would most likely want them. If you look up some of their recent videos, they're rebuilding one. 14:45 The fact that those numbers have been deliberately removed from the front of that engine should be of concern. That's actually often a pretty good indicator that the engine has been stolen. 20:00 If I had some $$$$, I would want to buy that very strange truck, thing, whatever it is, without the bucket. I think it would make for a wicked one of a kind rat rod.

ALSO FITS 1952-54 CHEVY CARS." thats the quote, the photo they show is identical to the one on that old Chevy truck. Found one on Ebay asking $1495.00 for it.
