Brother, I think I lived that story. My similiar dilema was a 37 International truck. I too was trying to hide it until I could break the news to my Dad. I had a 331 Cad motor to put in and that really got him fired up. He wanted it for his 48 Ford pickup. I relented to give him the Caddy motor so he brought home a 413 Dodge Hemi for my truck. I think I came out better in the deal. Thanks Highboy, good to go down memory lane once in a while.
