Re: 1960 Harley-Davidson of Macon Delivery Truck
The bed wood is Bald Cypress. I went to the wood yard of a local swamp and picked from there select stack. I also made some stake rails to match the floor. "One Time" stain was used. It stinks until fully catalyzed, but does a wonderful job. The 396 is the third motor for the truck. The first 396 was on its last leg when I got the truck. I found this 1971 Camaro 396 in a wrecked 1978 Chevy truck. It was wrapped around a telephone pole. But the motor was just built. I stored it for years till the time came to drop it in. It is still very tight. A friend donated the cast valve covers, and we painted them to match the motor and air cleaner. Sanderson headers and the air cleaner are two of the few new parts. Most of the engine is junk yard finds.
