Brother Al, you may be right about this particular truck having a Chev, but I don't know for sure since I only plucked the pic off the net. The engine compartment is big enough to swallow just about anything. You are correct, however, about the original engine being a six. A flathead of 232 ci. Kind of a weenie engine for a truck rated at 3/4 ton! Probably the most frequent swap I've seen done is to put a 308 Hornet six in there (gotta keep that Hudson all Hudson). But besides the Stude in the '41 I had, I've seen several SBC's, a 440 Morepower, and a BIG BLOCK BOB is now in the '47 I had.

Spray, I'd be happy to give you the '56, but you'll have to make a trip back to Oregon to wrassle it away from the gal that owns it now. And unless you can twist 'em like Goldberg, my money's on her!
