Chris,

Sorry for high-jacking your thread. I wholly agree on improving - while essentially keeping the original looks - over hot-rodding etc. I believe any modification should be reversible if anyone wishes to do so at a later stage (i.e. without butchering the chassis etc.).

Your wanted ad triggered a question from my side because in the HMV fraternity in The Netherlands we know hardly anything about Chevrolet engines besides the related GMC 270 because of the abundance of GMC CCKW trucks.

I am looking forward to any modification tips you can share after you find the right "Jobmaster" for the your 1.5-ton Chevrolet.

Hanno
