a waste of a good hot rod 
Didn't these old trucks in late 30's and early 40's come with a stock "flathead" V-8?? I used to have a 54 Oldsmobile, chopped and channeled 4.5 inches, had a Lincoln "Zipper" transmission, running 2 "four Barrel Strongeburg-carlson carbs, dual smitty mufflers and all interior lights were "red". Had a special tag made for front bumper which read "Lady Cruiser"....used to have lots of pics, but lost everything in house fire in 86.
