'57 Ford

Not mine, etc. Why do these deals come up when I can't get them?

Ford?

That's actually a '58 or later Chevy, dude.

Edit - Now that I read the ad, it has a '58-9 front end on a '57.

I've been looking for one like that. I'd buy that in a heart beat if it wasn't so far away.

Douglas Reynholm doesn't get embarrassed.

Is that an f100 in the background?

Nice cover, but the internals left me confused.

I have a pair of doors from one of those. They have a nice patina and the faded lettering of the owner's name. I wanted to use them as garage art, but can't sacrifice the wall space.

What about Denholm Reynholm?

Well he is dead...

if u guys keep making IT Crowd jokes in this thread, i will turn off the internet. (i emailed the Elders of the Internet, and they gave me clearance to do so.)

Just don't type Google into Google, then we'll all be screwed.

Seller said: The engine is a 350 but the block is cracked and puts water in a cylinder, it has a mild cam and aluminum intake. It still has good oil pressure so internals should be ok. The transmission is a th350and is good but the pan leaks.

If it puts water into a cylinder, isn't the compression down?

Regardless, is it worth $1800? I kinda like it.

But in all seriousness I would drive the snot out of that truck.

Edit: Nice dculberson

Maybe we can get everyone on the forum to have IT crowd avatars.

no.......its either a cracked cylinder wall or a bad head gasket. I doubt its low on compression. I'd just put a new sbc in there with at least a 4sp muncie behind it.....

Or this happens?

In reply to ValuePack:

I don't know what that is but you can definitely break the internet by typing "Google" into Google.

That is the jolly, candylike button.

dculberson gets it.

That's the History Eraser Button, from "Space Madness", the best episode of Ren and Stimpy. I'm fortunate to work with a few guys that refer to this button often.

I always felt like I needed to take a shower after watching Ren & Stimpy.

The way I am looking at that truck makes me worry that people are going to think I'm a desk rabbit.
