[old-chevy-truck] 235 Block
Greetings~ I might need a good rebuildable 235 block for my 1959 3200 if anyone has a nice juicy one, My engine is in pieces now at a really reputable racing engine shop in my area. The machine shop says they MIGHT not be able to find oversize pistons because the cylinders will have to be bored out to a larger size than is commonly available (I want to say .70 but I can't remember for sure...) And sleeving the six cylinders back to factory size is supposed to be expensive. By now you can see that I am new at this... I have been offered a rebuildable 261 block but am a bit nervous about the interchangability. I don't want to bite off any bigger jobs than I already have. (Not that I don't enjoy this stuff, but I have a busy job and travel a lot and spare time is elusive!) But the extra power of the 261 sounds very tempting. The owner of the engine says everything is the same except a steam hole that has to be drilled in the block to match the head or vice versa. Sigh. I love my truck and it's my third one (64 Chevy 1/2 ton hippie truck I had in college onto which I built a really impressive redwood camper, and another college conveyance, a massive 3/4 ton 50 GMC in which the brakes needed pumping up all the time and one day the pedal got stuck in the floor boards and the truck jumped the curb on campus at lunch hour and knocked over a mailbox, finally easing to a stop. Nobody was hurt, there wasn't a scratch on the truck, and I got out of there in a hurry because I did not have any money and, well it was a long time ago and I am still ashamed of it! Anyone with a good block for me in the Southern California area or willing to ship one for the right price, please contact me. I want to be ready for the bad news Monday when I call the machine shop.

You might look thru the Links option at the top left of web site page. Many suppliers have a web site which might give prices for a rebuilt engine. Or they offer catalogs, some for $5, which list what they have to offer. There are pitfalls to be avoided with the older engines, and getting a short block is a way around these. For example, Jim Carter Classic Truck Parts has a short block for $1385. == --- In old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com, Jonas Thaler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Greetings~ > > I might need a good rebuildable 235 block for my 1959 3200 if anyone has a nice juicy one, > > My engine is in pieces now at a really reputable racing engine shop > in my area.

[old-chevy-truck] 1936 Lo Cab 1 1/2 ton 4 Sale in SoCal
I don't post very often I do however read most of the post and offer up what little advice I might add when I can. I am offering up my 1936 truck for sale.I have owned it for over five years and have used it as a shop truck and advertisment while I had my business, we have closed down and run out of room. The truck is all original sheet metal with just a touch of surface rust on the drip rails, it will sand off in paint prep.The mighty 207 is fresh and the 4 speed has been gone through as well.Huck brakes and 70% rubber on Denham 6.50x20's The electrical system is a one wire 12 volt alternator and is the only modification to the truck save for the Napa tail lights.The window cranks out smoothly and the cowl vent works. This truck had no frills, no heater, one wipper and one tail light, i have the original tail light.This truck is a well maintained or preserved truck, not restored to show quality but an honest nice driver.The truck is a long wheelbase 157" and the only damage to the sheet metal is a split bead on the right fender and a small tear. I have or can take pictures of anything you want to see and the truck runs fine, I drove it from Newhall to Woodland Hills a few weeks ago. It will go anywhere just not very quickly; 45-50 is top speed.I am asking 3500.00 for the truck and it is located in Woodland Hills California. The tags are lapsed at this time but no penalities are pending. Feel free to call me at (818)716-7589 I need to resolve this soon, the folks in my area are no real keen on the truck sitting on the street.
