I thought about it too for my 54.  My understanding is that you will need to
weld in new engine mounts on your frame.  That was more than I wanted to
tackle.   I waited until I found a 235 that is just a bolt in.  Others will
likely have better information.  If you don't mind putting in the engine
mounts it should be a good engine otherwise.

[old-chevy-truck] '53 GMC Door

[Bob Day]

Good morning,

 

 

I’m looking for a good used driver’s side door for my ’53 GMC ½ ton. I had a
meeting with a tree in my driveway yesterday. Door is too far gone to fix.

 

 

Thanks,

I have a door that would have to be restored but something to start from.  Tell 
us more about Mr Tree.

The Chevy door all the way up to 2 ton would work.

There is more to it than that Bill. You would have to fashion special
brackets to mount the mounts to. It's not impossible and your local welding
shop could probably help, but it is much preferable to use the 235 or 261 in
this truck. Of course we see lots of V8s in these trucks so anything is
possible. Remember, there will be linkage issues, connection issues,
radiator clearance issues, small stuff to consider as well.

I like to remind people that the 235 was in the first Corvettes!  Albeit with 
multiple carbs and/or mechanical fuel injection (I forget).

I have a beautiful rebuilt 235 in my 59 3200 and it looks, sounds and performs 
solid as a rock.  I had a chance to rebuild a 261, but decided to stay with the 
original 235 engine.  In the end I had to swap blocks anyway, but I am happy 
with the result.

Let's hear it for the Thriftmaster.

[old-chevy-truck] 1950 Chevy at the Lambrecht Chevrolet Building on Auction Day

[tikuayla]

Here is a video showing my Aztec Tan Chevy parked in front of the Lambrecht 
building; downtown Pierce, NE.   You can see how busy the intersection of Lucas 
and Main were, on Saturday; the first day of the auction.

[old-chevy-truck] engine casting codes

[rl_westmoreland]

I tried searching previous postings on this subject and found a few but the 
links no longer work. I picked up an engine for $50 smakers today. It has 
casting number of 3836848 and an engine code of what looks like F0320A. Can 
anyone shed some light on it.
Thanks,
Robert

Thanks Bill,
  I had already read that. Was mainly interested in the build code F0320A.
