Just a quick Hello
I've been lurking around for a few days reading all the wonderful threads on this site so I thought I'd better post an introduction. I'm 32 and been into hot roding since I was about 14. Most the the stuff I've done in the past has been mostly race orientated (bracket racing and dirt mods mostly). I lost the interest in racing several years ago but still enjoy tinkering in the shop. My first thought was to build a T bucket, but this afternoon my pappy-in law gave me a '53 or '54 Chevy PU so I think I'm going to build it into a beater, parts chaser, rat rod sort of thing. It is just a cab, doors, and front fenders (I think I saw 1 or 2 hood out there that might fit) but the sheet metal seems pretty solid, part of the frame is there but all of the suspension was cut out ( he owned a wrecking yard and crushed out a few years before me and my wife meet but there is still alot of neat odds-n-ends out there). Well sorry to be so long winded, thanks to all of you for the great info on this site.

Remember it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird.
Another question, I was told this engine takes 6 quarts of oil. Is that correct? It's a remanufactured 350 with stock pan.
SB distributor won't fit
