Hot Rods Sedan Delivery and Panel Truck picture thread

Here's a couple from another thread......

 

I'm interested in learning more about the engine with the scatter shield on the dolly.

 

Power Pack heads! Rare stuff there.
*Edit*
Uh, not. See Butch's post below. I jumped the gun.

 

^^^^^Actually, they're NOT "Power Pack Heads", but rather early, dual quad and FI heads, and only used for a couple of years; the rare 997 casting number head. They were first used on the 1956, dual quad, midyear-on, 245 HP 265's, and then on 1958, FI Passenger Cars (bet there were a lot of those made!). Chambers are supposed to be the same as 57, 270 HP, 283 Power Pack heads, but the ports are slightly different. Confused? I think that's all correct. The first Positraction third member I ever bought was from a guy with a basket case 1956 Corvette; he had all the parts to put it back together pretty much stock. He turned the car into a real street abortion of a car, a Pseudo-Gasser, when he could have restored it and had a $$$$$ car. He also had some of these heads with a funny casting mark I had't personally seen before; a rectangle with two towers standing on end (???). When I went back a week or so later, after I found out exactly what they were, he'd tossed them into the trunk of a car he sent to the scrappers!!!!! Had another guy tell me they were also found on some trucks; did't quite believe that one. That engine with the hydroformed scattershielf does have Vette valve covers, looks like it might have a single quad intake (painted orange, and who paints an aluminum dual quad intake?), but has the wrong distributor; the distributor is cast iron, but it has the notches for a window style cap, wrong for 1956. Deuces, I like that 40ish Willys, Sedan Delivery; is it mounted on "some other" frame, the wheels/tires don't quite fit the wheel wells?

Thanks for the info. I got every thing unloaded and put away, then left for Colorado. I haven't had a chance to check every thing out.

 

A collage of my friend Ed Heller's '40 Panel. He's the 3rd owner. He bought it in '68.
1. When he bought it in '68
2. Early 80's when it was redone
3. Current - 50 years later.

I took these pictures a few years back.

 

Here's the new delivery..........

 

Nice panel truck.....pic from the Harley Davidson 115th anniversary flat track races (Beach Brawl) in the sand on Bradford Beach in Milwaukee last Saturday.

 

Kind of-sort of a S/D. Its a 39 Packard Hearse that has been chopped, shortened etc. Not sure what I'm going to do with it but I had to have it.

 

I love this thread! Here's mine, a '50 Ford F-1 Panel formerly owned by Johnny and Joe Zupan. I'm resurrecting it as "The hot rod Panel that never was (a hot rod)".

I have studied your work and this one should be the best yet!

 

This was the 57 Poncho Sedan Delivery that I had for a few yrs in the 1990's till mid 2000's, 1 of 682 built only in Canada........MGTStumpy posted a few pics on this thread of a turquoise blue one that's restored I think in the US, they used the Chev chassis, suspension & body shell............andyd

 

Only pic I can find of my brothers 1936 Chev Panel Delivery, this was taken around 1974/75, it was the delivery van for the Sydney Sinclair Oil wholesaler, note the Dino on the side with "Mellowed 80 Million Years" below it and an R Crumb "Keep on Truckin" on the tailgate.........this went to the 75 Oz Nats with those 16 rear wheels and some 13" ones on the front, a triple Tattersfield intake with 3 Holden Strombergs and a set of modified to fit Holden grey extractors........otherwise stock it was a slow trip but with a 4 or 5:1 stock diff quick to 20mph..........lol...........ah to be young & silly again.........andyd
