You just took me back 45 years when I heard the sound of that inline 6 and the 3-on-the-tree tranny! I learned to drive in my Uncle's 1951 Chevy sedan. He would come to visit my parents every week and would always let us drive his car. Man, we must have put 10,000 miles on that car just driving it up and down our street all those times, hahaha. I wonder what the cops would do today to a bunch of 9-10 year olds caught driving in an old Chevy...probably run us all in and throw us in jail!!
@charliej3500 The thriftmaster refers to the inline 6 engine line up put in older (mid 40's to late 50's) chevy and GMC trucks. They got more torque and better mileage than the small, short block v8. Sadly, no one appreciates the genius behind a 6 banger any more. Hard to come by brand new.

Your dash is from a newer truck right? In my 1950, it goes to 80 on the speedometer.
