"I bought my Rampside in December, 1982. I purchased
it from the Pasadena Cemetery in Pasadena, CA. I am slowly getting it put
back together. I hope to have it complete for the CORSA convention in 2006.
There is no engine code as this is a replacement block
I bought from Clark's in 1988. The case is a 95 HP. It was on the original
skid from GM and still had the Cosmoline wrapper on it. The block came with
the crank and cam.
The first engine was destroyed while being towed in
first gear. This was when I lived in New Jersey. The truck was coming back
from the paint shop and one piston went through the top and one through the
bottom.
The truck has a 4-speed transmission.
I have been slowly rebuilding everything on the truck.
I have upgraded to electric fuel pump, dual brake master cylinder,
electronic ignition. I rebuilt the transmission in the last couple of years.
I have slowly been doing minor body work and repainting the whole truck. I
have finished the interior of the cab. I have discovered the beauty of
powder coat for all the sheet metal.
I will send pictures later."
