That's a nice COE there Spanky, but I'm not so sure that brand is welcome here.

Do you really mean that you would SELL DIESEL DAN and his little brother?
There must be a catch here somewhere, I don't have to take two extra females do I?

And...."It was running when we parked it!" some rust, but easily repairable, needs some work" two non-working young female adults and a NOS worked-over Carb. go with the truck. I don't know much about these old trucks, I am selling it for a friend.
Really, I bet old JYD is as honest as any fellow that works on old Napoleonoic Coaches and Chevrolet Electrolocks, and has raized two daughters.

Well....since I have two adult daughters.....I will have to think long and hard about that, but I really need a couple of COE's..... Could the girls drive the trucks for a few hundred miles if their Daddy let them use his credit card?

Well, that is pretty good, batting .500 is better than Las Vegas odds! They probably won't need brakes and maybe the JYD would send a booster battery with a air compressor to air up the tires every time they roll to a stop! (for a Quick Mart Burrito and a Pepsi!)Now I need to come up with enough gas for a 1700 mile trip, Oh well it is nice to dream out loud once in a while.

With the "new in the box carb" and what else? Think 'mirror clock' and ??. If I was closer we would have to do some haggling, big time. Maybe I could get you to

Hey Gator, if you will just send me your credit card I will go out and pick up Diesel Dan and send the two girls and a mirror clock to you, I will give you a Gruen (new in the box), that is what you need isn't it?

"Gaslighting" comes from an old Hitchcock movie (1949): http://www.reel.com/movie.asp?MID=2331 Good flick (excuse me, "movie"). Gaslight means to trick someone by making them think that they have gone nuts (sorry, "crazy"). Didn't you go to the movies in the late 40's? Spanky what is a "228 CID inline 6-cylinder rated at 115 HP" which is in the truck? :confused:

Gator, Yes I went to movies in the 40s, Hoppy, Jack Holt, Wild Bill Elliot, Gary Cooper, Oliver and Hardy, Roy and Gene, John Wayne, Clark Gable and Tom and Jerry, Woodywoodpecker, but I only saw Hitchcock later on the Telly, and not a Gaslight, did it have English sub-titles? I would not infer that you are crazy, well maybe not. Here we go again Waaaaay off topic!

My favorite movie stars JYD, Shhhhhh don't tell (don't want to get in trouble with the 'subject police'). Now on subject, is there a "228 CID inline 6-cylinder rated at 115 HP" in '53? :confused: And there isn't a carb coming up thru the floor by the gas pedal, what's the deal, here?

The 228 cubic inch 115 Hp engine is a GMC-not Chevrolet engine.The engine has an up draft carb.(like a '29 Chev) and the air cleaner is mounted on the firewall.A tube runs down to the carb. intake.This was done on Chev and GMC COE'S.And Humphrey Bogart!!

Hey Gator, If that '53 COE has the original engine in it, it is a 248ci. 6cyl. rated at 125hp., according to my '52, & '53 GMC truck spec. sheets. Doesn't show a 228 being available in these years.

Chevy Nut, The air cleaners were indeed mounted on the fire wall on the'47-'54 GMC COE's,& the '54, & '55 1st series Chevrolet COE's, but on the '47-'53 Chevrolet COE's the air cleaners were mounted under the cab, on the right side, with a combination metal, & flex tube running around to the carb.
