1948 chevy grain truck

[glk001]

I think you said someone said it might be a 265 cu.in....The 265 was the first V8 chevy built for 1955...The 1948 in line 6 cylinder was either a 216 cu.in. or a 235 cu.in...The 235 was optional for Chevy trucks in 48...You would have to match the numbers on the head to the numbers on the block to detremine if it's still a 48 engine and then there's a way to tell...The F on hte block ID indicates where it was made...FA-1001 to FA-825234, will be a 1948...216 cu.in or 235 cu.in...

Any update on this thing? Id really like to see how it turned out, where did u find new windows for it? Im lookin at one and from what i can tell thats about all it needs besides paint

[oney135]

@mark16443 just traded it for a 86 f350 dually saflite should be able to make new glass as long as u have the old ones

That's pretty Cool Dude!! I had one just like that, but it was a Tow Truck. Those things are built like tanks!!

[oney135]

@805ROADKING yep i like but right now its in pieces decided to put a more expensive paint on it

[Needmorehorsepower]

better get some lead additive for the gas...........what the hell is that???i thought they put big blocks in those old trucks.....oh wait its a 48 i forgot.that truck would look real nice with some aluminum bud wheels :) what an awesome truck thanks for sharing oney

[oney135]

@Needmorehorsepower it decided it wasn't gonna run on that old crap so i had to drain the tank and put fresh in runs better wait for the update vid i decided to change the color theme

[grosteph58]

@Needmorehorsepower Hello . Lead additive is to avoid burning the valves seats of the old engines in using unleaded gas in those engines , it's depends on the year that the engine was manufactured . In the engines of the old time the lead in the gas was used to lubricate the valves , their guides and their seats .I think you know it .

It's in pretty good shape for it's age. You sure can't beat the price! Wow, only 4k miles on it!

[oney135]

@edzgarage sure can't ed update in a couple days didnt go with red after all

[oney135]

@wolfsheadoil you know it at least someone knows who i was inspired by lol

[roblok23]

that one is a lot better off than my 55. mine has 9907 miles on it but if i had to guess it may have been rolled over.

[oney135]

@roblok23 sounds like u got a good project to this one is actual miles to bad it got this bad but i'll fix er up

[roblok23]

@oney135

i bet you will. looks like you got a good project too.

the problem with mine is the owner, (and rely the only one who would know anythign about it) my great grandpa, isn't around anymore so i dont know much about it. my dad never messed with it much so he doens't know much about it. i do know last inspection 86 but not much more.

keep up the good work!

[grosteph58]

That truck purrs like a kitten .Basic technology under the hood :engine, carb and ignition ,no shitty electronics ;Nice "oldie" .You made a good deal .

[oney135]

@grosteph58 yep just the way i like them easy to work on

[grosteph58]

@oney135 Good luck in restoring your truck , it deserves it , the past is in your hands.
