I had one; GM chassis, 454, TH-400, aluminum body.
Despite the cumbersome appearance, it probably weighed less than a pickup truck and with that city delivery axle cog it would really launch.  :burnout:

When a driver thinks his car's "all that," nothing seems quite so humbling as not being able to take the Little Debbie snack truck.  :ha ha:

Except maybe the diaper truck, but that's another story.

We saw this one on Sunday. It's a 1-ton chassis, but I don't think it's for sale.

Nice pics GM.

Check out the 292 oil filter.

Pierre the artist must have started out to draw a 6-71  :ha ha:

Then he took care of that troublesome head gasket too.  :scratchhead:

Looks like he drew the fuel filter to me.

But the 283................A real legend. Like the 318 Mopar, the 289 Ford, you just couldn't break them.

But it looks like Pierre did get the taller side covers right. And that big oil bath air cleaner says HD application, like that big oil filter.

Yes, those 283's were indestructible. One of GM's great engines.

Oh man Clinkster, I think you'd be miles ahead with at least the '56-up type truck.
And the  '65 type is practically modern design, as far as driveability and upgrading goes.

Gorgeous!   

When loading the engine views, need bigger look of the exterior (first pic is too small)

Ueah, nice truck Mario especially Cadillac powered.

And Denrip you're right I never thought about dat! :doh:  I called the guy on the '47 and it didn't have a engine or tranny so what can be worth $3,500?

He'll say it's not much to look at.

Unfortunately when I saw the truck in person, I didn't have a camera.
When I later saw the '49 he wasn't driving the truck, so no pics then either.

But it rode nice and that 500 sounded great.
