    Here's an easy one for yall.

     



    These should be easy for anyone who has been around a while. Who made them, or in some cases didn't make them? What are they, what is special about them, anything you know about them.

    Can anyone tell me what this is?

     



    Here's another one. This one is too easy. The pics identify it. At first glance, you may recognize it, but look at the taillights and see if you are still sure of it.

    Have you all ever seen this thing in action?

     



    This is not meant to stump anyone, since the photo is easily distinguishable. Have any of you all ever seen this thing in person? Better yet in action? And what is its name?

    Well, that truck has either two 348's or 409's. I think it is safe to assume they are 348's. And that would make it a Chevy or a GMC.

    You may be right about it being a ranchero, but can you tell me who made it?

    WRONG. Definitely not a 409, not a 348 either. Ha Ha Ha.

    Well, I see that GM cast a 427 with the "W" design, could that be it?

    I'll pick off a couple and leave some for others.

    The GMC engine is the "mighty" 306 V6. Or should I say two of them?

    Your Ranchero is a "home built", using Edsel wagon quarters. Despite "urban legend" Ford did not produce Edsel rancheros.

    The others are pretty easy, although the red rig does have the non-factory "aero" kit. It might be fun to see how many people know what it's most unique feature was (moreso than the obvious powertrain).

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    The pink one is a mid 60's chevy full size. I recognize by the "cats eye" tails.

    Red and white is a Corvair pickup.

    Green one I dunno. Not much into heavy trucks but the engine layout looks interesting.

    WRONG. That is most certainly not a 306. Try again, Bob. As for "mighty," this engine can really haul.
